The car won't drive forward but will in reverse. I had just replaced all calipers, rotors, and pads and bled the brakes (which still had issues with braking) and it started having trouble going forward and had to tow home in reverse. The transmission shifted just fine prior to all of this so I don't think it's that I think there is a good possibility that I messed something up which is why it's doing this. There was no loud noise or anything when it started doing this.

Hi,

Have you tried lifting the vehicle off the ground to determine if there is one or more wheels that won't turn forward? Also, when you replaced the rear brakes, were the parking brake shoes in good condition and nothing is broken?

Let me know.
