Has anyone noticed any surface rust forming on the brakes? Also I woke up this morning reversed out of the driveway and it sounds like they were rubbing. At the stop light the noise went away?

 

Mine does it too, normal for surface rust to form on the rotors, especially if you don't drive it for a few days, or they are damp when you park it.

 

Mine does it every morning reversing out of the garage. It's normal.

 

I would seat your break pads. This is done by going to a empty highway or back road and going to 60mph breaking hard to about 5mph and repeating about 7 times. This will heat and smear a good film of brake pad material on your rotors. after the last slow down, you must release and cruise around 45-60mph without breaking for abot 5 -7 min. to cool down rotors. This will make your pads and rotors behave much more efficiently and much quieter. Erik

 

Thanks Erik I will try it. I am orginally from Westland MI, Where are u from? Also thanks Al and steve for answering my question, It makes me feel a little better that I am not alone.

 

ljzippy, I moved to Northville between Ann Arbor and Detroit to teach at the college for creative studies. I was in LA before, and had great winter weather like you must now. I was able to take the car out yesterday, but today it will be snowing again. Erik

 

It's normal on all cars. The rust goes away after a decent drive. It happens after lack of braking/storing the car. Look at the stangs on any lot. You notice it because the rims have large openings in them, that you can peek into
