Loud THUD noise from rear

That should be stuck calipers

Yes man thats a good idea moisture between the calipers and the rotors could cause the calipers to get stucked!!

This sucks! I have to reopen this thread :(

I am having the same exact roblem again - I am just not able to take my car out of garage once again and AGAIN this happens after I did a car wash yesterday evening and parked in garage. I am not sure if cleaning the wheels with the brush is causing something here..Being Sunday today I am stuck that I am not even able to take it to a dealer by calling infiniti road side assistance.

The car just refuses to move, I am 100% sure the parking brakes are released and the car is in R mode, but pressing the accelerator just revs'up as the car tries to move back but just shakes and stands there. I dont want to force like I did last time where there was this huge loud THUD noise before something gave up in D mode and then I was able to take in R. Man..this sucks...happening again and I am narrowing it down to something that is going on during/after car wash esp. with the whees where I use a long brush to clean the inside of wheel rims. I did look at it visually and to my eyes could not find anything unusual...but my eyes are not trained for these :(

How can I take the car out today or am I just stuck till I can tow in tomorrow? Last time I thought it was some one-off thing but not now and it happens again :(

What else can I look at under the wheels or is it something else...cr@p...

Sorry had to vent it out since I had to take kids to lots of places today and now thats not gonna happen :(

Thanks
Anand

Edit: Makes me think if it has to do with moisture overnight after the wash and should I be driving the car in the block a for a few minutes after wash?

The pads are sticking to the rusty rotor after you wash it. I had this problem before on another vehicle.

After you wash, drive it it around the block to dry off the pads and rotors. Otherwise, it can actually warp your rotors after enough occurrences.

Yes! that exactly seems to be my issue as it has happened both times after a wash earlier evening. Also not sure if the wheel cleaner is making it worse! Seems will have to take it for a spin after wash!
