Maybe overheating brakes, if itīs an automatic transmission. In these situations you steady the car while the car is in "D", and release the brakes abit to move three meters, after you apply the brakes again. And often you dont ease the foot off of the brakes that much, so the pads are still applying pressure to the discs - and eventually leads to overheating - īcause they never get a chance to cool off. ....just an idea - worth about $0.25, i guess ;o) -- Gio |
