Driving home from work today ~ 20 miles. A mile from home I stopped at a light. When it turned green, I let off of the brake, but the car would not idle forward. When I first hit the gas, I had a sqeek initially, then it went away. Didn't notice anything suspicious until I got ready to pull into the garage. Again, when I let foot off brake, car would not creep forward like I had the emergency brake on partially. At start of roll it would sqeek, then stop after overcoming resistance. Sqeek appears to be in the back end. No smell of any kind. Haven't used Emergency Brake for some time, but it appears to function OK. Let car sit for two hours and car appears to be good as new. Any help is appreciated.
 






sounds like you need to lube the caliper slide pins
 






Thanks for the advice. I was also reading regarding ABS kicking in a slow speeds. Could this also be the culprit?
