“2001, mustang, hydroplaned at 50 MPH in heavy rain, spun 360 degrees, and slid down an embankment. Had flat on right front, and required a tow truck. While towing the vehicle the tow truck operator noticed that the car was pulling hard. When he examined the vehicle both rear brake calipers were glowing red hot. I was informed by my insurance adjuster and the mechanic that the calipers were corroded. This required replacing the calipers on both rear wheels. I drive the vehicle every day for 125 mile round trip to work and have for the last 12 months. …”
