They seem ok, just put on new brakes within the last 90 days and 1 new caliper.
When they “lock” up. Jack up each wheel and see which one(s) is holding.
Grandduaghters car, it's difficult for me to drop and run whenever there is a problem with the car, by the time I get there it is usually released
They use plastic pistons?
No. Thats not how it works.
Yeap. dang near all the manufacturers do nowadays
OK so we're not sure this will remedy the problem. But It hasn't been happening consistently. It's been about 4 weeks since the last time. Wouldn't it happen more often? Outside temp is pretty cool this morning. It was maybe 30 deg. warmer last time it happened.
Drive it around for while. Say 30 minutes or so. In town driving so the brake system gets hot. The see which wheel “drags” or holds when hand spinning the wheels, off the ground.
I was just told it was the front's that were locked up this time. thr rear were spinning. I guess this was secret information unitl now.
Both fronts? Are you sure it's the brakes? Maybe some weird problem with the front diff (assuming 4wd)?
Yup.
Probably the other caliper that you didn't replace yet. If one goes, better to replace both.
