What brings brake warning light on in a 2001 Grand Am GT?
Usually it's low brake fluid or a problem with the abs. Check the brake fluid reservoir. Often the brake fluid will go down as the brake pads wear and the calipers has to travel further.
How often should you change brake fuild?
brake fluid changes and brake inspections should be done atleast every two years, mainly the brake fluid has a tendancy to soak up moisture in the air and then this accumulated water tends to boil in the lines and calipers and brake cylinders during use, causing air pockets and a degradtion of braking, and can cause a complete loss of brakes at times.
How long do calipers last on an Acura?

What is the problem if the brakes lock up?
This problem occurs mostly with disc brakes. Over time moisture can condensate inside the calipers causing rust and the calipers to stick. This can cause excessive brake wear. Ford SUVs are especially prone to caliper problems and the Explorer line often wore out the brake pads within 10k miles..
I have a '98 Toyota Camry Why are the brakes are stuck on?
Sometimes it happens and there is not much you can do about that. Sticky brakes are cause by malfunctioning front brake calipers (have to be replaced if it happens). Or sticky brake cylinders (does not happen often). Anyway before drawing any conclusions you need to find out which one is stuck and than make decisions. PS: Sometimes hand brake rod will get stuck, make sure that you check that too.

What does it mean when you step on the breaks of a 91 Honda accord and the car starts to shake?
AnswerMy car had a problem like that also, I changed the front brake rotors and the problem went away. If replacing the brake pads and rotors does not solve the problem, you may have an issue with one or both of your calipers. Often calipers can sieze partially or completely. This will make the brake distribution uneven between the front wheels and can lead to shaking or pulsing when applying the brakes.

There is no set time or even mileage to change ANY brake pads. It depends entirely on the quality of pads and how you drive. -You should check them every 6 months and when they get down to 3/32 of brake material that's the time to change.
