I agree with goatman, check the brakes. With the car in N, block one of the front wheels, and raise the rear just enough to get the wheel off the ground. Then try turning the wheel forward and backward.

I just replaced my parking shoes, rotors, and pads on the rear wheels. The shoes were totally worn out, no padding left on one side and the other had pad material sitting on the brake drum. If one of your pads fell apart, that could explain it.

Also possible is that one of your calipers is stuck and a brake is always 'on'. This can be true for any wheel. Easy enough to check - drive around the block without using your brakes (shift to L for the ride), then carefully check each rotor to see if it is very hot - don't burn your fingers!
