brakes do not release
I know on Jeeps they use a soft rotor supposedly to quiet the brakes. The average mileage for their rotors is supposed to be around 13,000. I changed my rotors and have not had this problem since and I'm going on 30,000.
Try replacing your brake calipers.
Yes it is possible to replace brakes yourself. If you have the tools and a little background in cars, you should not have a problem replacing the brakes on the car.
No you dont have to. All I did was was pump the brakes with the car running
The pads or shoes wear out and need replacing.
There's no guarantee that they will. Disc brakes have a higher initial cost and are prone to heating more quickly than foundation drum brakes.
At 20 mph, the average driver will travel approximately 88 feet before hitting the brakes. This accounts for the time it takes for the driver to perceive the need to stop and physically apply the brakes.
It depends on the vehicle and the driver. Some folks wear out brakes in less than 15K and some folks go 75K before they need replacing. Have your brakes checked each time you have the vehicle serviced.
When the "Brakes" light on your dash comes on, or if you hear "metal to metal" scraping from them.
no
It would be hard on the brakes and fuel mileage.
