my brakes began actin up. they began to squeak and they sort of apply themselves.... ill be driving and ill feel them applying themselves.... ill go from 40 mph to 35mph as soon as i let the gas go!!! Does anyone know why it's doing this....i already changed da pads and this problem still continues...any ideas?????????????

 

brake set-up are you currently running? Age/condition? Professionally installed? Dealer trip?

Aside from this, are you possibly resting your foot slightly on the brake while driving? I have yet to come across an instance where the braking system engages autonomously.

 

Hawk HPS and no im not resting ma foot on da brake lol ..... installed by mechanic ....but doubt that is the problem because problems started before i changed them ...i only changed them because i thought that would fix it. Pit it this way I can be on a downhill slope and my car won't roll down ....

 

parking brake on? hey you never know.


do you hear any noises? scraping or anything?

ive never heard of this. brake fluid overfilled? i dont know.

 

Assuming you have the "regular" brakes.

You might need a clean and lube of the slider pins.

 

Yea I have the regular brakes....when i go slow it sounds like it scrapes on the rotors ...

 

Try replacing the fluid by bleeding all 4 calipers.

 

you should have the car looked at by another professional mechanic

 

do you know of any trustworthy mechanics in the SoCal area...

 

The car brakes on it own? That’s scary.

 

start with the site sponsors list and find one that installs as well

 

Maybe it's the VDC.

 

Master cylinder [sticking?] we see this when owners use the wrong fluid as a brake fluid...........probably not but always a thing to remember.

You would be surprised at the different fluids idiots use to refill brake.

 

Make sure the dust shield isnt bent outta shape and making contact with the rotor...
It might sound like it would never happen but I have seen it. This especially sounds like it because the car (a 240) was having the same symptoms.
at a dead stop it was hard to push the car and the car would want to bog when you gave it the usual amount of gas to get going. It sounded like the pads were really low and they just needed changing also

I know its a long shot but i am just throwing it out there
