Kia have investigated this but could not find the cause. they suggested it might have been a plastic bag melting on the exhaust. But it has happened 3 times in 2 weeks since I got the car back. Happens intermittently. Strong smell of burning rubber from offside rear wheel when I park the car. I have looked at it myself - nothing on exhaust. brake caliper seems to work ok and no sign of burning on brake pads or disc. Could be handbrake not disengaging properly ? Any other suggestions?

Hi there! Check out this link.

this link will take you to a forum full of people with CRV's who are having the exact same problem. It seems to be with almost every year of the CRV as well. Unfortunately Honda has no explanation or solution for this problem. I have a 2009 CRV and have not had this smell, but I have been having a ton of other problems with it. I have been incredibly dissapointed with this car, and will never get another Honda. I hope you have better luck than I, and be careful with it cause I think there are some serious problems with these CRV's. Good Luck!

you need a special tool avalable at most parts stores. its a disc brake piston turning tool. you have to rotate piston clockwise while pushing in on piston. you can fabricate something that enguages the slots and push and turn till all the way in.make sure to note position of slots and put them in same place as was before or the pin on the pads wont enguage the slot
