<br /><br />In a video that has already surpassed 11 million views, the content creator showed that the rear wheel of her Honda simply wasn’t spinning — even while the car was moving.<br /><br />“I’m not a mechanic, but I don’t think a car is supposed to do this. I’m just a girl,” reads the text overlaid on the clip. In the comments, many users took the opportunity to joke about the situation.<br /><br />“You’re going so fast that you can’t see it moving,” one TikTok user joked. “I mean, it’s still moving, so it’s fine, right?” another wrote. “She’s just tired,” a third commenter said.<br /><br />But what really happened?<br />According to Motor1, the vehicle in the video appears to be a Honda with a front-wheel-drive (FWD) layout, which means the front tires are responsible for pulling the car forward.<br /><br />If a rear wheel locks up on a front-wheel-drive car in icy conditions, the vehicle may still move because the drivetrain does not require all four wheels to rotate.<br /><br />Most front-wheel-drive cars will continue moving—though with noticeable drag or a pulling sensation to one side—when a rear brake is frozen or stuck.<br /><br />Another likely cause is a seized brake caliper, a problem that can occur on any rear axle equipped with disc brakes. Corrosion, worn slide pins or a stuck piston can create constant clamping pressure.<br /><br />In the end, even though the car may still move with a locked wheel, it is extremely dangerous to continue driving in that condition. If this happens to you, take the vehicle to a repair shop as soon as possible.<br /><br />Photo and video: TikTok @youloveeash<br /><br />If you’d like, I can also produce a short version, SEO headlines, or translations into other languages.
