When my new truck had about sixty miles on it I put it in reverse and and it wouldn't move. Then just last night I was backing into my driveway the back tires started hopping just a bit and when I got about halfway up the driveway I turned to face the front and there was a lot of smoke. The funny part was there was no skid marks on the street or the driveway and I heard no chirping of the tires. The tires weren't even hot and there were no leaks just a lot of smoke which had a hint of a burnt rubber smell. Please help!
Thanks
