Had my SS for almost 3000km now and have just started having more problems with the brakes. First problem was a dead ABS module after only a week :( . Now the brakes have started to bind after driving for a bit. I drive for a bit and the brakes get tighter and tighter depending on the amount of braking I do. Eventually the brakes are really tight and I have to stop. I sit on a small incline for about 15min. and then the car starts to roll freely again (brakes un-bind). It's happened a few times now and seems to be getting worse.
Took it in this morning...have not heard back yet. Unless the brake line was somehow damaged since I got the car this seems like a manufacturing defect and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

i think my calipers are binding, just took a 5 minute drive--when i pulled into a parking lot, the pads were smoking slightly and they were radiating a LOT of heat. warranty/dealer issue? 06 SS/SC w/ 16Kmi

Oh, no, I have it as well. Dealer repeatedly stated it's "normal", wouldn't cover it. Now that I'm out of warranty they want me to bring it in.....:rolleyes:

Mine did this. The dealership said it was the switch behind the petal that needed adjustment, i think it was loose, or something.
