i have been having many problems with my front left tire for a while now. I was supposed to my car fixed in september but i had to let someone borrow my money which i will be getting next week. i think its the caliper sticking cuase my tire over heats and everything. i have been driving like this for a the past few months. but while im driving the caliper lets up at some point. my car has taken a turn for the worst! the calliper wont even let up while im driving and its only on one tire. I can hear it grinding. Is it to dangerous drive right now? meaning will my caliper and router and all that good stuff pop off while im driving???? help plzz!

The longer you drive it the more expense it will be to fix. You need to replace the rotor and caliper and disc pads. If it's the front you need to replace both sides. If it is the rear you'll need to do both sides. I'm surprized it hasn't totally locked up on you. Get it fixed as soon as possible before it becomes really dangerous.

Yes it is. Neglecting to fix it will also tear up the brakes on the side of the sticking caliper very fast.

You need a brake Job......
prepare Your Pocket,because the mechanic MUST change the two front calipers plus some ABS work.
sticky caliper
wear out brakes pads
rotor s.
broken ABS sensors.or else.
plus labor.

you could make the problem worse. the most important thing is you are only braking with only one tyre and if you need to stop fast you have no hope. the other thing is if your brake caliper does come off the fluid will leak out and you will have no brakes whatsoever. get it fixed fast its very dangerous

Yes it's dangerous, if the caliper lets go you won't have any brakes, the brake system is a closed system so if one part of it let's go none of the brakes work.

YES. The only driving you should do, is to a repair shop. The grinding you hear is your brakes being torn up, which means improper braking and a possible accident.

It skill they the two desire replaced or grew to become down if there is sufficient floor on them to do it, and surely you could stress the motor vehicle however the braking would be decreased with the aid of fact the brake pad isn't making complete touch with the rotor.

STOP!!!DON'T GO ANY FURTHER!!! yes it is dangerous, it could cause a fire, an accident, loss of fluid(brake) causing no brakes at all, PLEASE STOP and get this fixed immediately. Brakes are no laughing matter and the major cause of most avoidable accidents because ppl don't pay any attention to them until its too late.
