2018 Mazda CX-5 AWD. I was driving one day and out of no where I started hearing a scrapping sound when I would come to almost a complete stop (not the whole time I was braking). Come to find out the brake pad on my drivers side fell off its backing. The other 3 back brakes were all fine. Then, I am driving home and my brakes are smoking like crazy! Looks like an issue with the caliper. This is NOT an old car and only has 46,000 miles on it. Could an issue with my caliper have cause my brake pad to fall off?
What makes this problem better or worse?
braking fast

Are these factory original installed brake pads on your vehicle, the one that "fell off its backing"? Has an inspection of the braking system been performed? I would agree that it is highly abnormal.
