Brakes problem
2001 Chevy Cavalier Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130459 miles

We have replaced the abs box, master cylinder and brake lines twice now and put 4 sets of brakes on the car. Today after getting the master cylinder replaced my brakes caught on fire for some reason they will not release. What could be causing that?

depending 0n whether it is front or back alot of things. I'm assuming the front an dwould guess that the caliper or calipers are frozen or the brake hoses are bad and collapsed.... have a pro check it out.
