I have been enjoying my car for quite a while. Probably 5 thousand miles since the drivability problems were sorted out. Yesterday I left to go to the store and I noticed that at first the car didn't want to move as I was backing out. I thought maybe the pad was stuck briefly. I got off the highway (the store is about 3 miles from where I live). At the next intersection I had to hit the brakes hard to stop and I noticed a metal to metal noise like something was being dragged. The store was 1/10th of a mile away so I stopped in the parking lot to see what was wrong. The caliper had come loose from the upper part of the bracket and was at an angle. The upper part of the caliper was rubbing against the rim. This seemed strange as I cannot understand how this could happen. I pulled the wheel of and checked it over. I could not find anything wrong so I put it back together. I have never heard of this happening.
Does anyone know what may have caused this?
