1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 04/22/2019

On or about mid April 2018 this vehicle was left parked and unattended outside in upstate NY for approximately 2 weeks. The outside temperature at the time was from the mid 20s to the mid 30's with some snow. After 2 weeks, I came back and attempted to drive it from it's parked spot when I discovered the driver's side rear wheel locked up and the vehicle would not move. The vehicle was towed to a local garage where the d/s rear caliper pins were found frozen and the emergency brake was found rusted. On April 2019 the same vehicle was left parked in upstate NY when the local temperature varied from the low 30's to the high 30's with some snow on the ground. I returned after 2 weeks and this time it was discovered the rear wheels would not turn. The vehicle was again towed and the rear rotors were found extremely rusted and had to be replaced. The front rotors were also found extremely rusted but were not replaced at this time. The emergency brake was partially stuck and hard to brake free from rear rotor due to rust.
