What happens if you keep driving on a warped rotor besides hearing the warped sound?
YOU WILL WEAR YOUR PADS OUT PREMATURELY AND MAY CAUSE HOT SPOTS TO FORM IN THE ROTORS. HOTS SPOTS BECOME HARDER THAN THE REST OF THE ROTOR AND WILL CAUSE THE PEDAL TO HAVE A BUMPING FEELING WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES. THE ROTOR WILL THEN HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ALL IN ALL YOU SHOULD HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED AND REPAIRED ASAP. BRAKES ARE NOT A GOOD THING TO GAMBLE WITH FOR SURE.

What would cause brakes to lock on XG300 Hyundai?

Can the brake booster cause your brake pedal to go to the floor?
No, a busted brake booster will not cause the brake pedal to go to the floor. It will however cause the brake pedal to be extremely hard to push. A defective master cylinder will cause what you describe. Replace the master cylinder and bleed the brakes. It can because it happened to me. The booster lost vaccum and the pedal went to the floor. Sorry, you are wrong. The only reason the pedal went to the floor was because the master cylinder failed. The brake booster only boosts the pressure on the master cylinder and allows you to not have to push so hard on the brake pedal. Cars of yesteryear did not even have a brake booster and they stopped just fine albeit you had to push the pedal allot harder than with power brakes. A failing brake booster will not cause your pedal to go to the floor although it might cause it to go lower than normal before the brakes apply. As long as the master cylinder is good you will still have brakes, but you will have to really push hard and might even have to pump them up in order for them to stop the car.

What would cause your truck to stall when you press the brakes you have changed all the plugs and wires and dis cap and rotor and still it stalls when you press the brake?
I would suspect a leaking brake booster. When you apply the brakes, the extra vacuum needed, causes the engine to stall. Check the brake booster vacuum line and the booster itself. You also might want to replace all vacuum lines if the car is over 10 years old.
Brakes won't bleed on Chevy 00 blazer?
there is a number of things that would cause your brakes to not bleed. Moisture could have gotten into the lines and rusted the inside and a rust flake may be blocking it. Another reason why is your master cylinder may not be moving. And the thing that happened to me is my brake booster went out which moves the cylinder in the master cylinder...cause me to not have any fluid movement. Pretty spendy to replace the booster....more cost in labor then parts
