Hi I have a 1995 Dodge Stratus that I have a problem with the right rear wheel getting hot and omitting a strong burning odour after driving it for a few miles. I took it to a mechanic and he felt it was my emergency brake sticking, why he thought this to be the solution as after he applied the emergency brake on & off the right wheel would not turn freely with the emergency brake off it would drag a bit when turned. After he adjusted it, it seemed to correct the problem. But after I had been driving around again the wheel got hot again and omitting the same odour. Is there a solution to this type of problem??

Had same problem after replacing everything in brakes drum cylinders hardware i found that the brake lines to wheel cylinder were old looked fine but were weak and collapsed not letting fluid escape from wheel cylinder after replacing them no more problems

It's the rubber hose which connects the steel brake line to the wheel cylinder. The local dealership said this is a common problem for them to break down and trap fluid pressure in cylinder or caliper. Happened to me on all four wheels, after I cut the ebrakes ;)

Need to replace the E-brake cables.

I have the same problem.. i have replaced my right rear brakes mad times

Something in the park brake/E-brake mechanism is corroded or otherwise damaged, it could also be a sticking cable due to water or salt intrusion ( don't know were you live), it will have to be taken apart and the parts looked at to solve the issue, there is no other way to fix this sticking issue. I feel the mechanic that advised you on this problem was for the most part correct, he just did not go far enough to fix it right the 1st time.
