Driving along about 55mph and noticed the front end acting funny, especially when breaking (front end would dip and pull to the left). Then I started getting strong vibration in the steering wheel, so I pulled off to have a look. No surprise, the driver's side front break was smoking pretty good. Smelled pretty bad too.
After letting it cool down about an hour, I pulled the wheel but everything looked fine. It was still fairly warm, but the rotor spun freely between the pads. I drove home and it has been fine ever since.
What would cause the break to lock up and then unlock on it's own?
I may have slightly warped rotors, but nothing really noticeable when breaking.
Thanks for any help and suggestions!
