1993 Toyota Corolla Brake SERIOUS Problem?
Okay so i knew i should have had this problem fixed a LONG time ago but i was being lazy i guess. Every time i would apply my brakes it would shake & cause my car to shake & sometimes they act as if they wouldn't stop & would skid when i applied them. & today as i was headed home it was acting as if my car wouldn't pull when i was pressing the gas & as i continued to drive it started to sound really loud & my car was trembling a little & felt as if it was going to cut off so i barely made it to pull over & let it cooled off for a while then i started my car up again & when i went to press on my brakes to change my gears it wouldn't change so i pressed my emergency brake & it allowed me to change gears & i made it home. & my front right tire( I guess the brakes) was smoking! & i just want to know what needs to be replaced & how much it'll cost. because I have someone who'll do the job I just need to know an estimate of the parts & how serious this is. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!! All help is greatly appreciated

Rotors, pads, calipers, probably brake hose, at least on the side that overheated. You damaged the plastic hose with that heat and it's likely to blow some day if you don't relace it. Figure $300 - $400 for parts depending upon the comonality of the calipers... I dohbt the car is worth fixing.

I don't know why you apply the brake to change gears. I suspect you have air in the brake system and it is causing the brakes to seize. It is too late to advise any fix. You must now dismantle the brake system to find how much damage was caused and figure out a solution. Can't do it from computer.
My guess rotors, pads, maybe even calipers. Cost is doing to depend if you know someone who can help and do it your self or have someone do it.
If your doing it youself go to rockauto.com look up your model make and put in rotors, then brake pads, then calipers that will give you an idea on price i buy all my parts there.
I had a 1987 Lincoln Towncar with moving problems. discover a depended on transmission shop and function them drop the pan, and replace the clear out. My project replaced into that the clear out seal replaced into non-existent and replaced into inflicting the transmission to lose stress which immediately outcomes the moving. It shouldn't value greater advantageous than $a hundred for a transmission provider as lots of the value is interior the hard artwork............ At worst, it provides you with greater time earlier the transmission certainly fails if the project is inner and at such time you're able to be able to come to a decision on changing the motor vehicle.
you need new brake pads and new brake rotors ! the cost ? it depends on where yiou take your car at ! some places are cheaper and some are higher !
If you have someone to do the work I think they need to figure this out.
