As I was driving home from work yesterday, I noticed my brake pedal seemed to get firmer and firmer. It got the point where just tapping it slightly would engage the brakes, as though there was no more travel in the pedal. When I got home I noticed all four wheels were very hot to the touch so the brakes had clearly not been fully releasing. I let it cool down and checked the pedal and it felt normal but now I'm worried about driving it.
What could cause this? |
