brakes locking up???
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this??
My car is a 2007 and I live in Ohio where the temperatures have gotten pretty cold recently. My car sits outside (no garage) and is my daily driver. In the mornings I've noticed the car feeling really slugish like it doesn't want to move and only really noticed it on the really cold mornings(teens or 20s) when I go to back up it is hard to get moving and I have to gas it to get it to move. Then once I back up it almost stops on it's own. As I drive it tends to "free up" until it is no longer noticable.
This morning was an exception where it took almost my whole ride to work (@ .5 hour) to free up. I've tried pulling up and down on the e-brake several times but that didn't seem to have any affect. Also during my ride into work I started putting 2 and 2 together and realized my gas mileage has really dropped recently as well and I'm wondering if the brakes are riding and could be the cause of both problems.
I took it into the dealership this morning to have them look over the brakes. I'll see what they have to say.
Anybody else experience anything like this?
