After replacing brake pads on my car the front passenger side wheel evidently locked up. It felt like the car was braking while I was trying to accelerate and almost like I did not have control over braking and accelerating. There was smoke coming from the one wheel. We pulled over, let the wheel cool down and carefully drove it home. Took it to the shop and they said the valve assembly was broken and I had major unsafe driving issues.They replaced the rotors, calipers, brake hose, pads and valve assembly to the tune of about $800.00. My question is, what could cause this problem and why would it only happen on the one side?
