:wow: when you unscrew the brake line, what do you mean by unscrew?? did you unscrew it from the caliper? would you probably got air into your brake system?? Check your master cylinder and see if there's enough brake fluid in it, I suspect you lost quite a bit brake fluid after you "unscrew the brake line" and introduce some air in the system in the process.

Yes, it's very dangerous, and based on FWD car only use the rear caliper for less than 20% of the braking. Even you totally screwed up your rear brakes, you should still be able to stop just fine. There's really something wrong in your car's brake system.

if ou took the brake line off you will need to bleed the brake system starting wit the farthest brake from the master cylinder working your wat to the closest. or just bring it to a brake shop and let them do it.

I am sorry to say, but you did do a very stupid thing. If you do not know enough about your car you should not unscrew anything - you are talking about your life here!

You do not have to take it to the dealer - I would SLOWLY drrive to the nearest shop that does brake work and get it done there.
