Brakes "exploded". No prior warning, squeal, nothing. Have had them checked at dealership only a few months ago. Same size tires. Going down city street, loud popping sound, then short grinding sound. Sounded like back right rear tire. Had car towed to mechanic who stated that spring had broken, caught brake cable, and everything came off in pieces "shards of metal"
