last 2 weeks ago, my front left side brake got jammed due to aging rubber brake hose. it started got jammed on the SPRINT Highway near the Seksyen 17 Toll Plaza and i had rev all the way to the nearby petrol station to check what's the problem. upon reaching, the brake pads got burnt and smoke kao kao. jacked the car and to try to spin for the first time but it can't move, suspects that brake caliper jammed. but after a while i tried to spin it again, it can be moved and suspects that it might due to brake hose problem where it can't release the brake fluid back to the reservoir, left the car for a few hours to let it cools down and drive it to the nearest workshop without brakes (i had to use handbrake though).
the next day went to workshop and got the hose changed. then happily drove it to fetch mong mong but the problem came back and haunt me but the impact wasn't as great as the previous one. i had drive it back to the workshop and checked. again spent a day there and got me car back. drive a while but still find the problem there.
no choice. terpaksa drive back to malacca and let mong mong's dad and have a look. after checking, the hoses were fine but the brake master cylinder assembly got leakage, i mean bad leakage (no wonder my brake fluid kept on decrease). fine. got it replaced and got all the brakes bleed. now it's back to normal but somehow i find my brakes now spongy, it's time for steel braided hoses? no money for it as i need fund for the major project that coming soon.
faulty front left side brake hose got removed and the burnt pads were replaced with new ones
