faulty braking system. calipers keep seizing
So I have had my calipers replaced 3 times since I purchased my 2009 Honda Civic Hybrid in November 2011.
They were replaced
Dec 2011 at 38000 miles
Oct 2015 at 103600 miles
May 2017 at 125000 miles
The issue is always with the rear passenger side caliper seizing. It seems that the caliper keeps sticking, which causes extremely uneven wear on the brake pad. The right rear bake pad quickly gets entirely worn down, while the driver's side rear brake pad looks brand new still. This last time the caliper seized and melted my brake fluid hose. This is really dangerous and replacing the calipers is clearly now working, so what is the really issue here?!!
