I heard the sound of metal scraping on metal when I applied the brakes. I took it to Boubin Auto Repair and they said they replaced the rear calipers, rotors and pads. They failed to connect the parking brake cable on the right side.

The van was pulled in to a driveway with a slight tilt, put in park, with the key removed from the ignition, in park. The primary driver almost always uses the parking brake, and believes it was on at this time. The sliding door behind the drivers side door was opened, something taken out, and closed.
