brakes get really hot real quick, melt hoses, and melt brake
brakes get really hot real quick, melt hoses, and melt brake
it has happened 3 times now... you go to push on the brakes, and it goes almost to the floor and don't stop. it just slowly slows down. you can be going 60mph, push it all way down and it will take 10 seconds or more to stop. then when you do stop, the rotors are bright red they have got so hot and smoke rolls up from under the fender wells. we have replaced both calipers and all 4 brake pads. it is in the shop right now getting a new master cylinder put in to see if that is the problem. i have had to throw my truck into the grass off of the road at an intersection just to get it to stop because you could not see what was coming through the 3 way intersection.
if you have also had this problem, please email me at mcbaseball8@gmail.com to let me know how you fixed it
