What is wrong with my car's brakes?
When I was driving my car today, I noticed that I was having trouble stopping. The car doesn't brake at all until the pedal is to the floor. The brakes seemed a little "soft" yesterday, but I didn't think anything of it. They were perfectly fine 2 days ago. I drive a 2000 Honda Accord with 2 disc and 2 drum brakes.
I had my tires rotated 3 days ago. Could something have happened then?
Or you have a serious leak somewhere in the brake system. Anyway, you need the attention of a professional mechanic, immediately.
Your tire rotation had nothing to do with it. If you didn't hear any high pitched squealing while braking then it is likely you need brake fluid. But if you did hear noises then you need new pads for the discs or shoes for the drums.
So - the brakes were soft yesterday but you didn't think anything of it.
No nothing would have happened to them when they rotated them. More than likely you have beyond low pads in either the front or rear.
- 2000 rear brakes on odyssey van knock when braking? I recently changed the rear drum brakes with new shoes and drums on my 2000 Honda Odyssey Van and now they knock when I apply the brakes. The noise matches the rotational speed of the tires as if something is on the tires.
- Motorcycle brakes asbestos? Australia: Honda NSR 250 MC21 1992: prior to the ban on asbestos in 2003 would replacent brake pads have been asbestos? Also dry clutch, replacement parts contain asbestos?
- 1982 honda nighthawk 450 front brakes sticking? I drive it regularly to school but I went on a three day weekend and this morning everything went fine on the commute but then later in the day the front brake stuck but when i wanted to go home it worked. What is my possible problems, so I can find out how to fix it on youtube? Is it unwise to keep riding as long as the brakes are not currently sticking? This has only happened this once and I have ridden it a couple thousand miles sense i bought it this spring.
- Steering wheel and brakes got still when I turned the car on? I drive a 2008 Honda Civic with 240k on it, today, I parked my car, put her in park and shut her off. I got back in later on, started her up and put her in reverse. When I tried to back out the steering wheel almost wouldn't move and the brake was the same way. I put her back in park, shut her off, turned her back on and everything was good. I have all new parts on it, or just about, and this is the first time it's happened as far as I know. Any advice on what this could be?
