My brakes lockin up have been one of many problems with this car! It hasnt helped that mechanics around here dont even wanta touch my car. I was told a wheel bearing first, had it replaced. Drove ok for a couple days before i found myself stranded on the hwy again not able to get the car to move at all. Lettin it sit for a couple hours to "cool off" got it goin down the road again. Then it drove fine for a couple days between incidents and took spells where it did it everytime i got in it. Finally, had a friend take it to a guy a couple towns over and he too gave the "i know nothing about these cars but i will try" speech but came back and said he was confident it was the master cylinder cuz it was full of fluid (which i thought was normal but...) he replaced it. Got in it to drive it and noticed the pedal had to be pushed almost to the floor to stop it but he said that was normal. The next day the first time i stopped the pedal went in like when i picked it up but since then, the pedal becomes tight and barely able to push it in at all the further i try to go. Which was a little over a week ago, and in the 5 times i have attempted to make it to town 10 miles up the road, i only made it twice and the car struggled even then.
Sooooo here i am again. After beggin and pleading with family and friends to help me figure this out, one thinks he can fix it by replacing the brake booster..... God willing, that will fix it so i can move down my list of other things i gotta figure out..... why it keeps stallin on me at idle...why i have to pump the gas and sumtimes pray really hard to even get it started at all....why i have to leave it running while i pump my gas to prevent sittin at the pump for 10 min tryin everything to restart it....why my front floor board floods....why my cargo area floods....why my passenger door opens sumtimes and others it takes 3 people gettin it open....why my steering wheel whines more than i do....why i hear metal clanking under my car at low speeds and bumps....and last but certainly not least replacing the timing chain becuz of the tensioners goin bad.... And ive yet to understand why i cant walk in auto zone or oreillys like other normal people and not hear " im sorry but u will have to go thru a dealership for ur parts" couldnt even get a friggin hose that would work.
I am at a loss being stuck with this car!!! And tryin to afford repairs on it, especially wHen the mechanics around here keep replacing the wrong parts has gotten to be very frustrating to say the least!!! This is the worst car i have ever even heard anyone owning!
