Brakes Jammed

(1/3) > >>

motosung:
Was driving and noticed that my wheel was juddering alittle with the car pulling over to one side with slight loss off power

Pulled over and noticed my wheel was extremely hot so my suspicion of wheel weight flying off was ruled off

Went to TCM immediately and they told me my brakes were jammed. Luckily its not jammed in a very tight pull or i can't imagine what would have happened since i was driving in the expressway at that moment

They did a overhaul of my both front brakes and damage was around $170

Did not change brake pads since i just changed mine under NPNT around 8K KM ago

My car's 4.5 years old, millage 109K

Anyone else had similar problem?

kspchew:
Mine did but on the left hand side. replace the oil ring assembly at AS

sunnyong:
hmm.. I always feel that something is amiss when i drive above 60km/h.. bro.. how to check beside sending to TCM??

My ride also very noisy when i start.. (Alternator or fan belt? how to know which one?). start w/o aircon.. got sound.. on aircon.. sound is LOUDER!! perhaps BOTH? :scared:

EVERY servicing @TCM always got change this and that.. always say this need to change.. that need to change.. how to know what are the necessary things to change?? anyone can recommend which hospital and doctor to go for 'FULL BODY CHECKUP'??

Try Autosaver or Autoaid

Gone with the wind:
Motosung, you mentioned you just changed your break pad not too long ago at TCM.  Did it occur to you that TCM might not do a proper job, like they did not clean off all the break dust, or install the break pad or whatever mechanism properly that it caused it to jam?  Remember you had did 100k without a single problem, and normally break calippers would not cause problem, because this is the most important portion of a car.

You should have questioned TCM and asked them to explain how and why it jammed after their service.

Just my 2 cents thought.
