| Description of the problem | After driving on highway and then slowing for traffic which became stop and go traffic - the brake pedal started slowly fading all the way to the floor. After coming to a stop and pumping the pedal - the brakes seemed to respond but then the same issue repeated - had to have the car towed and discovered that the calipers had frozen on both rear wheels (wheels would not turn freely by hand when car was on lift) and the front right caliper was becoming tight as well. Repair involves new calipers, rotors and pads for all 4 wheels. |
