No, that's usually either the caliper or a corroded slide. It is also possible that a faulty proportioning valve could do this. Also, in ABS equipped vehicles, some part of the ABS system's valving or controller may be faulty.

What would cause brakes to suddenly go out completely?
Any sudden brake loss can be the cause of 1. brake line damage 2. master cylinder disfunction
When you take your foot off the clutch when in 1st gear or reverse your '92 Escort will not move what is wrong?
If it does this in all gears, I bet your clutch is shot. Other things that could cause problems are the Clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder.
What could cause the brakes and brake pedal to stick when brake pedal is pressed?
Check around brake pedal for something rubbing. If OK, I'd look into the master cylinder.
What could cause a clutch pedal on a 1992 Toyota celica to stick to the floorboard with no loss of fluid and I have already changed the slave cylinder and bled it several times?
If you've changed the slave cylinder and bled it several times, the next step would be to check the MASTER cylinder and if that doesn't work then your clutch is burned out.
My brake pedal goes all the way to the floor on my impala wagon 1963 when you apply the brakes what should i do?
Your pedal will go to the floor for a few reasons. First, your master cylinder may be defective and/or empty. The master cylinder will be empty for a reason. Any or all of the wheel cylinders may be leaking, the brake hoses may be leaking or broken, a steel brake line may be rusted through and leaking or broken. A loose fitting will cause a leak too but this is not likely the case on such an old car. I would suggest you fill the master cylinder, bleed the brakes and when done, look for leaks. If you don't find any leaks and the pedal still goes to the floor, the master cylinder is likely bad. Carl King http://www.classiccarauto.com

You've either got a bad Brake hose or bad master cylinder. Both these things can cause a caliper to stick.
Sticking brake caliper?
If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.

2003 dodge ram 2500 diesel braking problems put new brake pads and calipers and bleed brakes but still have brakes sticking while driving checked brake line and no obvious restrictions any help?
Perhaps a bad master cylinder--return plugged or restricted As friction develops at rotors brake fluid expands and pushes back into master cylinder if return is restricted, expanded fluid will cause caliper piston to put pressure on rotor, essentially applying the brakes NOTE: I had same problem with front left and it was the Caliper, had to rebuild the caliper
94 Jeep Wrangler Sahara clutch pedal is sticking in the up position and sporadically will not depress what could cause this?
It was the clutch master cylinder. It finally went completely out. I checked the slave cylinder, it looked and operated ok, so I assumed it was the master cylinder, I replaced it, it works now.
What could cause the front right brake to not completely release after taking your foot off the brake?
Caliper sticking - take off caliper and try to push back piston into the caliper bore (if possible with the bleeder open) Flex hose restricted -Remove from caliper, take lid off of master cylinder and see if fluid runs out at a good pace (don't let it go empty) Pads stuck in caliper hardware - remove caliper and make sure pads move freely. Calipers may act different from hot to cold, when does it not release? Check it when its acting up.
I have 1997 cavalier the rear brake is grabbing what could cause this?
The caliper is probably sticking. With the car jacked up and on a jack stand and the wheel removed, see if you can turn the caliper. You can probably see what's sticking this way.
What will cause a brake caliper to stick on a 1993 goe tracker?
Try Changing the Brake Hose. They Rot On The Inside And Restrict The Flow Of Brake Fluid Back To The Master Cylinder. GOOD LUCK
Why do brake shoes wear unevenly?
The main cause of uneven wearing brake shoes is a sticking or stuck caliper. Check to see if the caliper is releasing properly all the time.
The caliper on my Ford Windstar will not - retract what wrong is with it?
One cause is that the cylinder the caliper piston moves in has scores - grooves worn in the cylinder walls that the edge of the piston is catching on. One of the easiest approaches would be to replace the caliper with a remanufactured / rebuilt one.
