I washed my car on Sunday, it was a fairly mild day. I drove home (not too far, 3 minutes maybe) and parked the car in the driveway. About 5 hours later I went to move it and it seemed like all of the brakes were seized. I had to rev it to about 3500 just to move it, and it would keep no momentum. There was also a very ranky smell afterward.
Today I tried to move it again, I thought maybe if the brakes WERE seized, they would have thawed by now. The left side feels like it wants to move, but the right side dips down a bit and it has a lot of difficulty moving again.
I drove it 100km home from the dealership and it was PERFECT, so that's why I initially suspected that was the case. Does anyone have any insight? And if I am right, how can I remedy it? The weather is still mild here right now, it rained this morning, which is why it puzzles me. The car isn't on level ground, which is why I'd hesitate to jack it and take off the wheel, but I'm sure I could grind it down to the street and do it there
