honda accord brakes

[byron burke]

hi . i have a 2003 accord, the last 2 times the temp. outside went below 20f the brakes act up.
when you first start in the morning coming out my driveway it works fine, but when you get to the
first stop light and your braking a little harder the brakes stick.but only once or twice then the rest of the day it fine works normal again . can’t seem to get a handle on it . any help would be very welcome thks?

Bleeding the brake system might help, and certainly wouldn’t harm

id say to pull the calipers off and pull the slides and clean and install some sil glyde to the slides sounds like they are hanging up a little probably lack of lube or the grease getting a little cold that would be my guess at this point.

Is there a booster vent inside the cabin that might not be breathing properly?? Just a WAG.

What do you mean they STICK. Do they lock up or won’t release?

[byron burke]

when you start going again they don’t comepletely release

That can be caused by a lack of lubrication. Inspect the little rubber covers on the pins that hold the caliper in place, replace them if they show signs of damage, clean everything up good, and lubricate the pins with appropriate brake lube, as well as the surfaces on the bracket where the brake pads rub. That should take care of your problem.

Perhaps start with a good brake service and inspection.

There’s more information in the article that College man posted. Keep us posted on what you find.
