Default Re: SRT brake issues?

52k miles and in Florida.

Just spoke to the mechanic about your questions. here are his answers.

Rotors--- Ill post a picture they were definitely hot and started peeling by the looks of it.

Calipers- he said the calipers are all burnt and full of burnt rubber. Possibly on fire.

Master and booster--- the booster doesn't need to be replaced but the master cylinder is full of burnt rubber as well. when you push the pedal it goes all the way to the floor.

What sensor?---tire pressure - has nothing thing to do with issue.

"fuel line flush"---Should be brake line flush?---yes brake not fuel sorry.

Locking JUST the rear could have been a proportioning valve or problems with the ABS (do you have a "light"?) or a few other things--- he said he put everything on the computer and there seems to be nothing wrong with the car at all from an electronics standpoint. however i just did have a water in the trunk issue and poured a ton of money into this just a month ago....

He believes i somehow pulled the e-brake and this caused the problem. I do not think this is the case. I would know if I pulled the Ebrake but he said the ebrake is also burnt. Any thoughts on this part, which is by far the most perplexing to me. I live in FL and have never used the e-brake under any circumstance other than making sure it works when i bought the car.

Thank you all for your help.
