Hey guys just recently opened a thread about my caliper sticking and I took everyones advice and just swapped it out for a new one with new brake pads on both back wheels..its no longer sticking but every once in awhile when I let off the gas and I can feel my gears or something feeling like its grabbing and my tl will start to lose speed..idk if its my caliper sticking but the roders are not hott...idk if this is notmal or what but any help would be greatly appreciated..thanks

 

I shouldn't judge people by number of posts but what you're feeling is probably the "Grade logic" or "engine brake" or gear holding ability that makes the car feel "sporty"

 

Ahh I see I see...yea I new it had to be something im new to this whole thing buddy...just needed that reassurance that it wasnt my caliper ya know..

 

just to confirm,
1. go to highway
2. make sure no one behind you
3. 50mph
4. assuming you have automatic, shift down to 3rd.
5. see if it feels "kinda like" it.

if it is, your calipers are fine.

 

Check out this video:


I am 90% confident though that "4drviper" is correct when he says it is most likely your "engine break".

4drviper....I tried what you told me to do and and its just about the same feeling..its just a little less as drastic when I let off the gas and it does it...another question regarding my rotors...when I accelerate I hear a squealing noise...but as soon as I let off the gas it stops and continues as soon as I start accelerating again..im not sure what it is?

 

The squealing is not very loud..but I notice if my windows are down..also everyonce in awhile when I brake I hear a squealing noise but its only when im aproaching a red light and im doing a lower speed..mabey my front brakes? Havent checked them since I purchased my tl

 

i'm 99% sure your rear calipers aren't sticking now.

but the squealing, if it happens only in certain speed range it could be wheel bearing.

or.... if you have tools, take the wheel off and see how much brake is left?
and then wiggle wiggle to see if the bearing is okay ( i know. not very reliable but at least a try)
and then if you really have tools, check if your front calipers are sliding freely.
VERY light application of brake (in case, the front could be sticking, i guess) it squeals.

 

If its the wheel barring could this be a serious issue.if ot taken care of immediately?
