Brakes get hot due to friction generated when they are used to slow down or stop a vehicle. This heat can build up and cause brake fade or even damage the braking system. To prevent this issue, drivers can avoid excessive or prolonged braking, use engine braking when possible, and ensure their brakes are properly maintained with regular inspections and replacements as needed.

04 alero front brakes get hot why?

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.


What could be causing the wet brakes noise I am hearing from my car?

The wet brakes noise you are hearing from your car could be caused by water or moisture on the brake pads or rotors. When water comes into contact with the hot brakes, it can create a sizzling or hissing sound. This is usually temporary and should go away as the brakes dry out. If the noise persists, it could indicate a more serious issue with the brakes that should be inspected by a mechanic.

To fix a hot/ground reverse issue in your electrical system, you should first turn off the power to the affected circuit.
