-There will be nothing wrong with the rear brakes.
-The parking brake is a drum brake that is inside the rotor.
-You don't need an allignment.
If you take the rotors off, you will see the parking brake.
The worst thing that your wife did was wear out the parking brake pads or warp the inner side of the rotor.
This will do absolutely nothing with the workings of the rear brakes.
Please don't tell the dealer because they will tell you that you fried your rear pads/rotors (impossible) and that you will need to pay for it.

Also, forgot to ask, so the parking brake drum is entirely different from the normal brake pads that we use?
Because I think i have only used my parking brake 2 or 3 times and I dont think I will be using it often at all... what I am trying to say is... what my fiancee did is to decrease the life of the parking brake pad, but I dont have to replace it right away now, since it is seldom used and will probably last for awhile.. right. ?
