I had a bad vibration, so I changed pads and rotors took car for a drive and now my brakes are smoking. I figured my calipers were sticking so I replaced the calipers and they are still smoking, and the brakes dont seem to be what they should be. The ABS light and the parking brake light are always on. What do I do next.

Did you bleed the system? Is the master cylender full? Also, have you checked the rubber brake hose that attaches to the caliper? Many times they go bad inside, allow fluid to actuate the caliper, and then not release it.

Let me know.
