2013 Explorer Brake Issues

I have a 2013 Explorer and the left rear caliper keeps hanging up. I had it in to the dealership and they changed the rear brakes, rotos and the left rear caliper. A month to the day, while on the turnpike, on cruise at 70 (not using the brakes) the left rear brake began smoking and over heating. I took the suv back to the dealership and they could find nothing wrong. They did see the signs where the brake overheated. They know of no reoccurring issues. Any ideas?

Shoot me your info in a PM, Jyo; I'll see what I can do to help. In your message, please include your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership.

Scary !!!

good luck on a proper diagnosis and repair...

guess the fun lil trick of using the paddles to downshift and save the brake pads on the wife's sport is helping so far @ 25k miles....
