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)
