Have you ever left your emergency break on and didn't realize it?

I got my oil changed yesterday. When I was driving my car home, something felt funny. Then the next day I was driving my car to work. I started to hear this squeaking noise. I turned around and went back home.My husband checked out my car and noticed that the emergency break was on. It turned out it was the emergency break was on. I have got my oil down many many times and they never have left my emergency break on, not once. When I saw the red break symbol I thought there was something wrong with my breaks, but would have never guessed it was my emergency break on.Have you ever left your emergency break on and didn't realize it?


    




Rapid Fire
I set up my own emergency brake. If I have it on the car will not move. Chances are that I will never have that problem though. I use my parking brake religiously and part of my start up regime is to release it as soon as I put the car in gear.

Yes.

yes...we all have...
but depending on how far you drove your rear brakes will now need changing even if there not worn down...drive with the break on will overheat the shoes/pads destroying the friction material.it almost turns them to dust due to overheating.

No. The emergence brake light on the dash should have given you adequate warning, Why drive with the warning light on. I suggest you study the owners handbook! I assume you are not in the habit of using the emergenct brake, but rely on using the P on the auto box. This is bad practice.

Sure.......everyone has but you really need to have your brakes looked at asap just to be on the safe side.
