“My 2015 Mini Cooper 4 door hardtop was parked in my garage. I started it but had not put it into gear yet.

The tires are new and the alignment is good. The brake fluid was just changed and bled. There is literally nothing wrong except for this bizarre system which is now only applying some brake pressure to the front right rotor. …”
