hmm
My friend had the same problem, only while he was driving both his rear calipers went out and caused him to crash in the city =/
He had to replace them and I am guessing that you will probably have to do the same.

you'll either need to replace it, or rebuild it. Replacing=EXPENSIVE...rebuilding=$25. I rebuilt my rear-calipers several months ago. It was SO easy, I was surprised. Its just a matter of replacing some snap rings, and rubber dust boots, and a lot of cleaning up the caliper. You'll save yourself a TON of money. Mazdatrix sells rebuild kits. Haynes manual has rebuild instructions. Good luck.
