Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Grabby Brakes When Rainy Or Wet And Going Very Slowly
I new 2015 Elantra LTD. has terribly grabby brakes in a certain scenario. That scenario is, it is rainy or wet, and I'm going very slowly, like in a parking lot. When I touch the brake pedal very lightly, the car stops abruptly! And I mean abruptly. As quick as the car comes to a halt, and not intended to, I suspect it is the front brakes. Not sure if it is the new brake pads acting peculiar, or some other issue. But, the brake grabbing problem isn't present when its dry and going slow, or when I'm going normal speeds when its wet.

I have about 1300 mi on my V6. And for the last 600 or so miles the brakes squeak loudly when stopping at a red light.

I notice the brakes are very grabby right before you come to a complete stop. This seems to occur more when this brakes are cold. Is this typical with the gen 2's? Mine in a 2005 if that makes a difference. So far with 2k miles on the car I'm not a big fan of the brakes, but everything else I love.

On my 2011 Prius Four, the brakes are VERY sensitive and bordering on "grabby" when in reverse gear. I don't know if that is common or if I should have it worked on by dealer. Brakes are fine in forward gear.

Recently purchased 2006 F-550. Noticed the brakes seemed a bit squishy and weren't stopping the truck as well as I thought they might. Looked under the car and saw this at the right rear tire. Give it to me straight, doc.

Problem started with the front end shaking a little bit when braking like the rotors needed turning. Then the brakes began to intermittently hum when stopping. Then my ABS light came on. Put the truck up on the stands and disassembled the brakes on both sides. The ABS sensor was chewed up on the driver side. The less than year old hub felt sloppy so I changed it. Put everything back together.
New hub came with new ABS sensor. Went for a test drive ABS light is gone and I no longer shake or experience the hum when applying the brakes. However now when I go to stop right before I come to a complete stop the driver side (new hub/spindle side) I hear what sounds like the grade school class clown making a fart sound with his mouth, and the truck pulls to the driver side. Is the ABS system malfunctioning or is this a caliper issue? Calipers look like they are OEM.
Honda :: While Driving Car Starting Revving Up While Slowly Stopping
Today I was driving my 2005 Honda CRV when suddenly the car starting revving up while slowly stopping. It would not move after that. Car still reved up while stepping on the gas. Had to be towed to a mechanic. They could not look at it today.

2011 F-350 XL, I can hear a squeal coming from the front brakes when rolling forward slowly, believe the pads are dragging on the rotors. If I touch the brake pedal the squeal stops as it does when I turn the wheel. Took the calipers off and greased the slide pins and put it all back together, still got the squeal. What don't I know???
View 9 RepliesFord Brakes/Suspension :: Front Brakes Build Up Pressure And Slowly Start To Lock Up / Not Releasing
Initially when I start driving, the brakes work just find. But it seems as I use the brakes, the front brakes build up pressure and slowly start to lock up. They don't lock up completely, but they do cause a significant amount of drag. The rotor, calipers, rubber hoses and master cylinder are all very new. I'm thinking maybe the issue is with the master cylinder and am considering going to get one along with a brake booster(since it doesn't have one currently).
View 14 RepliesPorsche - Cayenne :: Brakes Grinding Sound While Stopping The Car
I purchased front brakes and rotors from O'Reilly Auto Parts, for my 2006 Porsche Cayenne. The brakes were grinding while stopping the car, so I went to O'Reilly and talked to them about the problem. They suggested that I get different pads. I ordered different brake pads, installed them and returned the others. Now the second round of pads are making that grinding sound again while stopping the car. I checked the rotors and they seem to be fine.Is there special pads that will not make that grinding sound? If so, where is a good place to get them from?
View 14 RepliesTouareg :: Brake Squealing Noise When Stopping
I am trying to get a sense on how prevalent this issue is. Getting brake noise when stopping? It is progressively getting worse, and my Treg has been in 4 times for that issue alone. My dealership, i think has sort of given up. They tried "grinding" the edges down as suggested by VWoA, no go...
View 24 RepliesTouareg :: Grinding Noise While Stopping Randomly
i have with my Treg. Occasionally, like once every two weeks, when I am slowing down to almost a standstill, i suddenly hear a loudish grinding noise that seems like it was triggered electronically. I seem to think it happens when the auto box is shifting from 2nd to 1st before the car comes to a standstill, but not every time. Obviously when I took it to the dealer it did not happen!
View 5 RepliesAccent LC (2000-05) :: Low-Frequency Groan From Rear Brakes When Stopping
My vehicle is a 2005 Hyundai Accent GLS with 38,000 miles.
I recently had work done on my rear brakes after having a pretty horrific, loud metal-on-metal grinding/screeching sound. - the pads are still at 60 percent so they did not put on new pads, but they did a rear brake adjustment, shaved the rear rotors, etc.
That horrible sound is gone, but it has been replaced by a low-frequency groan from the rear brakes under hard stopping, from about 10mph down to 0mph. I honestly could not even hear it myself with the radio on but noticed it when coming to a stop without the radio on. It usually stops happening after a couple hard stops, then happens again the next time I get in the car and go somewhere.
To describe the sound, under those exact braking conditions it almost sounds like what driving a car through snow sounds like. Or a shoveling snow sound, minus the sound of the shovel itself hitting the ground. I am not noticing any corresponding vibration or decrease in stopping power.
Not sure if that makes any sense, but it's the best I can do. Could it simply be rust buildup working its way out? We have had a wet, cold, snowy winter and my car is parked outside every night overnight.
Passat (B7) :: 2012 - Brakes Grip Won't Catching Rotors While Stopping?
So, got the 20 K miles service done last month on my 2012 Passat.
Recently I noticed that when I press the brake pedal to slow down, it seems to work fine. The brakes "catch" the rotors, there is a clear "grip" to the rotors and the car responds pretty fast to start slowing down. However, when I did a brake check to stop the car, I notice that when I press the brakes hard, they don't "grip" the rotors as hard as I would expect past that initial grip instance. Seems like their grip is not "catching" the rotors. As a comparison, my other car (6-cy, disc brakes front and rear) does maintain that grip. Am I missing something in this? Is the behaviour of the Passat's brakes expected?
How often does VW do break flushed based on their service schedule?
Touareg :: Hesitant Acceleration After Stopping At A Light Or Trying To Get On The Highway
I just recently purchased an 05 Touareg V6 and I am a little concerned regarding the acceleration I am getting like after stopping at a light or trying to get on the highway. It seems that it takes this vehicle about 5-10 seconds to realize that it needs to get moving. However, after it does realize what it needs to do, the acceleration is fine. I was told different things such as it could be the turbo system and one thing I find very hard to believe that this is a characteristic of all VW's. I like my VW and don't want to get rid of it but would prefer better acceleration
View 2 RepliesTouareg :: Mechanical Sound While Stopping / Accelerating - A/C Blowing Hot Air
I have the 2 zone auto climate control system.
1. When I come to a stop, there is a mechanical sound coming from behind the central vents as though a flap is trying to move. After I accelerate, I hear it for a a little longer but then it eventually goes away but returns again when I stop. I usually leave the setting in auto but even manually manipulating the controls doesn't seem to get rid the noise.
2. For a high end system with automatic climate control, it is a pretty crappy system. Main gripe is in the morning, let's suppose it's 12 deg C / 55 deg F outside and the system is set for 20 deg C / 70 deg F, it insists on blowing hot air!!! It's as though it's sensing the outside temp or ovber compensating. Eventually after 10 - 15 minutes everything settles down.

About a year ago, I bled all 4 brakes and put in new fluid on my 01 Accent GS 1.6L auto. Still to this day, they are very spongy, and you have to push them far to get good stopping power. My pads are ok on the front, rear shoes are ok as well. No leak in lines anywhere. What's up with this?
