[QUOTE="ashnk, post: 440297, member: 22015"] So unfortunately the issue happened again the next morning, but this time my dad was able to experience it too. It was more of a crunch/grinding noise with a nose dive jolt and I couldn’t go forward more than 3mph, I was able to freely reverse back into my parking spot though. He came to the conclusion that it was the front brakes. The rotors and pads were actually in good condition, but the one caliper was stuck. So we replaced both front calipers, and ended up changing the pads and rotors too since I bought them prior to knowing the condition of the old pads. Bled the brake lines, took it for a drive around the complex and everything seemed fine. About an hour later I took it out and a slight crunch/grind noise (I don’t think I would’ve heard it if my window was up) and slight jolt (almost like a hiccup) before 5mph, but I was able to keep moving. The abs & traction control lights came on and the downhill assist flashed a few times before going out. I wasn’t going that fast either less than 10. I was going down a slight incline, but so slight a ball wouldn’t really roll down it on its own. The abs and traction control stayed on for about another minute or two before going out. Since I was doing loops around the complex I couldn’t speed more than 15-20. [/QUOTE]
