My 2008 Ford Taurus has a problem with the brakes . I have replaced the pads twice. The last time was on 4/21/10. That was when I noticed that it was smoking after I drove from work. Which is 17 miles from my house. A employee at auto store asked me if used the parking brake often . I said yes he told me to stop. The brake problem stopped also. The brakes were only going bad on one side. The back right. I could smell them burning and I did not know what it was. Now I am waiting to see if happens again I feel like the parking brake was the problem. But why I do not know .
