nah i think those can be machined and go for a little while longer. lol how do you not notice something that bad. and i suppose the people said "i just heard the noise yesterday on my way to work"
this happened to me ! it got to the point where there was always drag on the car ,than i lost all the brake fluid so i had to use the handbrake to stop on the way home ,the pistons popped on both front tires lol.
I had one of my friends have the same thing happen to his 02 malibu. But, not only did the pressure side rub down to the vent. It also seperated the outer disk from the main housing.
this is a perfect reason as to why cars should not fly. considering idiots like these can maintain a car on the road, lets not even thing about flying
I wonder what percentage of car accidents on the road are a result of neglect like this?
I was driving home from work last week following an EMS/Fire truck with a dual wheels on the rear axle and the dual wheels came off the driver side.. axle and all, and he kept driving... the wheels were stickin out about afoot and a half and I slammed on my brakes.... and seconds later the whole frikn thing went flying into the air and bouncing down the road in front of him, hitting other cars.
common these current brake systems on cars are a piece of shit, why can't we just get magnet based braking systems? you would only have to repair them for rust.
meh somtimes brakes are a pain. my moms 97 chevy malibu has bad front calipers. they stick on and i have to replace pads every 3 months and rotors every 6. my dad doesnt want to fix it. its been 5 months since last pads i wont be suprised to see that when i get in there. recently they have gotten MUCH louder
I bought a truck and pulled into the shop to go through it before i drove it. Someone had put brand new bake pads on a rotor just like that. Some people
@roadragecustoms i have too, its funny, its like they are gonna get in trouble or yelled at by you if they tell you the truth, like its your car not theirs...
@roadragecustoms "Oh, I'm planning on selling it so I just want it to work, I don't want to put any money into it." Everyone wants a $50 brake job, but nobody has shopped for parts to see that we just can't pull that off.
Uneven wear like that suggests there were problems with the pins that the brake calipers ride on, probably a lack of lubrication. The driver couldn't possibly be unaware of "unusual operation". Only if they were deaf, maybe. They would still feel it in the brake pedal. This driver is simply cavalier about obvious danger to themselves and others.
That's nothing! My daughter wore the rotor out so bad that the disk separated from he hub. She was wondering why the car pulled when she hit the brakes. LOL
Yikes, you don't suppose it was his wifes car? Just keep driving it until the vehicle does not roll anymore, then replace the rotors, calipers, pads, etc.
I've seen badly grooved or partly cracked rotors, but this is a first. Sort of unexplainable, since automotive brakes are not overly mysterious components, they give plenty of warnings that they need attention, well before anything like this happens.
a friends daughter brought her suburban to me with the same problem,think its expensive to replace brake pads,neglect changing them and the problem only gets worse
one time there was two girls in a dodge neon and the engine was smoking and they had 3 flat tires and they didnt know what was wrong.They just kept driving.
@cvmiata I don't work at that shop anymore. I heard the other day that the same guy came back in with the same vehicle, and his rear brakes were worn metal to metal. He declined the rear brake job and drove away!
@s00ther Parking brake is on the rear. This was on the front & caused by driving & driving & driving looooong after the pads were worn out. This doesn't mean the driver isn't "a complete and utter idiot".
been there, but mine was worse! 190.oo bucks at autozone for rear rotor, breaks and caliper, and the hardware of course. first time ever and last. check your brakes peeps.
It doesn't cost that much for a set of pads, some hardware and some grease. Even rotors aren't that bad, but those calipers look expensive, not to mention lives and sheet metal. This a negligent homicide trial waiting to happen.
How many signs of brake problems did this guy need???..First-noise..2nd-noise!!..3rd-low pedal-noise!!!...4th-No pedal-Noise-Dash light "BRAKE"-No Brakes!!!!...I just don't get it-I've actually seen this too many times...Just don't get it.
wow that is incredible, I can't believe how people do that. I just recently helped out a friend by doing his brakes. He wore down his pads to the backing so the rotors were damaged. Good thing he didn't wait as long as this guy.
WOW! ive seen em wear down the rotors, and break the breaking surface, and have it dangle, but i have ever seen it desroy a caliper like that, and shred it! wow.
people need to realize not to neglect their vehicles!
@Smoott69 if thats the case then thats even more pathetic that they would keep driving it when its pulling in a direction every time they brake! unbelievable!
nah i think those can be machined and go for a little while longer. lol how do you not notice something that bad. and i suppose the people said "i just heard the noise yesterday on my way to work"
