Hello,

So just to clarify, do the brake stick? Do the pads rub against the rotor as you drive?
Do you notice the brakes getting hot?

Typically, brakes will stick when there is a collapsed brake hose. When a brake hose collapses it will not allow the brake fluid to go back thru the hose as the brake pedal gets released. That will lead to the piston of the caliper stay in extended position and making the pad rub against the rotor. This will cause premature wear.

How many miles are you able to go with before changing the brakes?

Please let me know what you are experiencing.

Thank you.
