You have a stuck caliper, stop driving it before you lose your brakes....a 2 ton car can do some serious damage rolling.....a brake bleed may cure it, but in all reality....you need new calipers, new discs(they warp with heat) and a brake bleed....mine as well change the master cylinder while your at it....I was luck mine went on only a mile from my house, so I drove back with the ebrake, then immediately bleed the brakes......when you have a stuck caliper, it causes heat which in turns boils the brake fluid....thus a peddle goes limp...
