So we just got a lot of snow here in tahoe and the temps have been very cold. The last couple of mornings when i back out of my carport something seems to be stuck and the wheels dont want to roll. I have to give'er a little more throttle and it breaks free. It only happens after sitting overnight. I'm thinking maybe ice is forming over my brakes and rotors from snow melt. I have never had this issue with any other vehicles up here. Anybody have any thoughts on this or experienced this themselves? |

Do you usually pull the e-brake? I know that with several previous cars I've had, seeing as they've all been manual transmissions, I would leave the e-brake on, and if it was winter it'd usually freeze up, but it wasn't ever a serious issue. |

Yes, i have had this happen before to me in South Dakota. Usually occurred when I was messing around in the snow or just driving a lot in deep snow and the wheels get VERY packed with snow. Drive around a bit so the wheels and brakes get nice and warm then let it sit for a few hours or overnight. Bingo, brakes get nice and frozen to the rotors. The snow/water drips down between them and then freezes. In my opinion, if the brakes can handle stopping our big rigs they can handle breaking a bit of ice off the rotor and caliper. I've never had any problems whenever it did happen to me btw. |
