  1. Sam- this is for both you and Bellarx. I know this is a long shot but I read something on one of the brake parts manufacturers sites. It said that brake lining material can get stuck on the surface of the rotors. This is not stuff you can see but could probably see under a microscope. It is often transfered when the rotors are hot and the brakes are applied for a little while (as they would be from a lot of stop and go and then having to stop with your foot on the brake for a little bit). The cure is simply on a back street or an area where there aren't hardly any cars around (don't want to cause an accident), speed up and apply the brakes hard 3or4 times. That is supposed to cause the pads to remove the transfered material from the rotors. (Just make sure you don't have to sit with your brakes on until they've cooled down). I have actually tried this when the brakes get a little "pulsating", like a little bit of warp to the rotors. And it actually worked! I drive an '04 Ford F-150 and they have had problems with them where when the emergency brake is applied and then released, the cable gets dry inside and doesn't release the EM all the way, and there have been quite a few reports of shaking so bad by about 40 MPH that they had to pull over because they couldn't control the truck. Don't know if this will give either one of you an answer or not but it is something too consider. wow thank you i will try this defenitly and ill get back to you
  2. that happenes to me too when im on the freeway and i start breaking and i live in Los angeles there is no snow and i dont know the problem too
  3. today for the first time i put 91 gas and i usually for 87 i had the car for 4 months and i didnt see a difference in the performence and i guess its just a waste of money if the car is a lease but if its a buy the take good care if it so it will last longer
