Has anyone else had problems with their brakes during the cold weather. I used my brakes after driving my car for a while yesterday and the brakes just became stiff and would not stop. However after I pressed a few more times it worked again. I thought it was all in my head cause I was going really slow at the time but I just happened to me again. This time coming onto a busy road. Luckily I was only going like 30 and shifting from 2nd to 1st helped me stop the car.
Anyone else having this type of problem? |

| Sounds like your car wants to kill you. Have you seen the movie Christine? |

| That is probably true. I haven't seen the movie though. I am going to assume something about her car wanting to kill her? |

| it's a rare issue, but they do tend to lock up in cold weather... |

It's only a 2 minutes drive from work to home for me. So I didn't want to go anywhere other than home just incase they didn't work on a busier road. Now that I know this I will get them warmed a bit before driving anywhere. I park in a garage at night so they are fine in the morning. It only happened the past couple days after work.
Thanks for the tips guys. |

| A brake fluid flush will probably solve your problem. |

| My winter car does this aswell. Brakes are stiff and not responsive until it warms up. Car doesn't run properly without oil temperature, oil pressure and water temperature being up anyways. |

Happens to my Avalon as well when it is really, really cold(ie -30 and below when the car has sat for 10-12 hrs). After applying the brakes a few times the issues is clear. :D

I was driving down the highway at -40 without windchill and same thing happened to my brakes.
Also some moisture in my gas started to freeze and I started to sputter a little bit.
When I arrived at home I had to leave my vehicle in the garage so that it could warm up and drive normally. |
