It may be that the calipers are siezed up, and or, when someone put everything back together, twisted the brake hoses around, and caused them to pinch off the brake liquid, and not let the brakes to release. Seen that done some times. Good luck.

New brakes, particularly if they're wet may give some smell...however for other reasons....read below:

Brakes Make A Rhythmic Scraping sound At Low Speeds:
When you step on the brakes, you hear a scrapping sound in time with your speed. You may or may not hear the sound when you're braking from a higher speed, but it'll become audible when the car slows down. The sound may start and get progressively worse.

Possible causes:
Brake pad/shoe material totally worn away. Metal backing plate rubbing on brake rotor/drums: Replace the brake pads/shoes as obliged.

Loose or bad front wheel bearings: Replace bad wheel bearings. Repack and retighten loose wheel bearings.

Brake rotors have extra run out or are warped. Brake drums are out of round or warped: Machine or replace front disc brake rotors. Machine or replace rear brake drums.

Clunking sound throughout Braking:
Whenever you step on the brake you hear a clunking or banging sound. It can be a deafening or not so deafening sound and the seriousness can be depending on the car speed and how hard you apply the brakes.

Possible causes:
Loose or broken front end steering parts: Check and replace loose and broken parts as obliged.

Loose or broken suspension parts like a shock or spring: fix or replace suspension parts as obliged.

Disc brake mounting hardware broken, missing or loose: fix or replace mounting hardware as obliged.

Disc brake pads loose in the calipers: Tighten or replace disk pad mounting hardware.

If they're new brakes that were put on and you did not have the problem with the old ones, then go back to where you had them installed. Chances are something was not done right.

I had a alike problem on my Elantra and after some number of sets of pads, the dealer determined that the brakes were not unlocking properly. Good thing Hyundai has that long warranty.
