Alright so I always put on the parking brake, its habit now so I always put it on on my LS. When you put the car into gear its supposed to go off right? That how its always been for me. So i put the car in gear the parking brake light goes off (i always make sure it does before i go) and start driving to the store and the car feels funny like it wont shift out of a lower gear, i try powering through it for about 2 miles (stupid me) then i decide to pull over. i get out and check the passenger side first and the rear disc is neon red its so hot and smoking, and the driver side rear brake pad is literally on fire, smoking and on fire. i sit and let them cool down for a little and they seem fine now, a little squeak which i will have the dealer check it all out, but is this a common problem, safety recall, etc?
