Had the same problem with my rear right caliper (out of nowhere, didn't change anything), it was stuck, made the entire wheel hot, so Acura replaced it. Costed $725 in total.

Glad you fixed it!
I feel like my Acura dealer ripped me off.
Instead of trying to fix the caliper, they told me to replace it =(
Like 300 for parts, 350 for labour, then add the tax = $725.

Although an easy task, but time consuming, not many shops will rebuild the caliper as a replacement is much easier and quicker. Just an FYI, the caliper rebuilding set is only $17 list $12 net, but once again the labor mounts up in a hurry when they charge $100+ per hour. Now the savings are unbelievable if you can do the job yourself.
