Default frozen caliper again?!

About a month or two ago, I was driving and smelled something burning and pulled over and found smoke coming out of my rear passenger wheel and it was the caliper was frozen. Had to replace them in pairs so I got 2 refurbished calipers from my repair shop and they installed them. Now Im driving home from work and smell this again but this time is coming from the drivers side caliper, no smoke because its so cold outside but I think the caliper or ebrake is frozen stuck. Ugh this pisses me off, and I hope its under warrenty if this is the problem

I'm glad to hear it's not to bad.

Cab, have you not been outside in the last 2 days? I skipped most of my classes because it was so damn cold! And we're trying to save money so my apartment is only like 60. I'm just gonna buy a big-*** eskimo coat and call it a day.
