Glad you asked this question, same thing happend to me about a week ago, Felt like something was binding then pop it let go, I was waiting to hear the drive shaft hit the ground. Climbed under the car andI can't see anything thatwould have caused the problem and ithasn't done it since.

 

Yea my froze up on me last winter and it wouldn't unfreeze. I drove it up the street to a shop and the back right wheel was barely turning and you could smell that burning so from now on unless I'm parkedon a mountain I never use the thing.

 

He's got a P boys.

 

They could have looked at all your purdy pictures but Nooooooooo.

 

According to his photo gallery he has an automatic and not a manual. Therefore I recommended he place it in "Park". He does have a "P"

 

Don`t be quite "sure" yet. As others have mentioned, the rotors are bare cast iron (they rust)
the pads (semi-metallic) have bits of sintered metal imbedded in them, the pads always touch the rotors and they can ( when parked for a week in winter) tend to stick together. keep an eye (or ear) on it. But, it`s probably NOT AN ISSUE. JMO

 

ahh i see......ya my rotors are rusting prettyheavily underneath that car cover.....its gay how they do that imo......

 

These cars are meant to be driven...and driven hard... not kept in the garage..[8D]

 

i feel ya...i got about 1k left on my warranty so im trying to stretch that as far as i can.....

 

Damn the warranty! FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!

Yeah, the stock rotors get a thin coating of rust right after I wash it. It suprises me how quickly that happens, too. The occasional binding thing seems to be a normal occurrence for those of us that park the Stang.
