I had the same thing happen in my 1998 Plymouth Neon and after talking to some other users, I have come to the conclusion that it can be considered normal in Neon cars. It seems to happen to everyone owning a Neon.
When the "Brakes" light on your dash comes on, or if you hear "metal to metal" scraping from them.
The brakes apply force to the wheel, causing friction which stops it.
check to make sure brakes are not worn out and scraping
Applying the brakes.
You probably have a caliper the is stuck. This is most noticable as a pull to one side or the other when applying the brakes. The harder you step on the pedal, the more it pulls.
Using brakes slows your speed.
applying brakes on a bicycle to slow down. that's friction because when you apply the brakes, the tires of the bicycle slide on the road causing friction on the road from your tires to slow you down faster
brakes, or no sun
Brake squealing is commonly caused by worn brake pads. The metal part of the pad makes contact with the rotor, causing the noise.
This could be for a few reasons, but if they are getting hot without you applying them, I would suggest that they are sticking and causing the pads to rub on the discs, or if they are drum brakes, the shoes on the drums. If they are only getting hot as a result of using the brakes, I would suggest checking that the brakes are balanced properly, and that the front brakes are not doing all of the work/ or that the back brakes are working at all.
Yes, that will work.
