2010 brake issue?
my 2010 suddenly burnt off the front drivers side pads in 1 week. i could smell them burning so I checked the and sure enough they are done . The passsenger side is like new , the brakes were redone last summer. i picked up a new set of pads and replaced both sides.The calipers seem to be fine but after drivin a block I could smell them burning again. Any ideas on the proplem ,should I replace the caliper?

Calipers, hoses and pads both sides, if you have a two wheel drive you might want to also inspect and (clean/repack wheel bearings and new grease seals if applicable)
You can perform a brake bleed pretty much the same way as has been done since brakes were invented but there is a chance for air to get trapped in the ABS HCU and that will require a trip to the dealer for a service bleed function with a computer.
You may also need to replace the rotors, excessive heat can and will warp them.
