      The first time I don’t remember it dragging all I remember, was hearing a pop and then losing my brakes, but I still had conventional brakes and was driving home seven hours and made it home but now this time it seemed like the same pop, but it was grinding/dragging then about five minutes later I’m driving I heard a pop and then lost my brakes but then when I pulled over, I saw a bunch of smoke coming from under that tire. It’s by somebody’s house where they’re looking at it today but we don’t know 100% certain if it’s the caliper, but nothing else seems like it would make sense although the fact that I was able to break somewhat before when the first time it went out but now it seems like I have zero breaks. Even if it was a brake line, it doesn’t make sense and explain the smoking or the grinding to me

      I don’t remember what happened the first time exactly. And it hasn’t been looked at yet today to see what exactly happened, but it seems to be the caliper again.
