What happens to your car when you drive down the highway with the parking break on?
|
Hi, I was just driving my 98' bmw down the highway for about 2 miles, i think i hit 90 mph then i began to break to take the exit. When i started breaking the car started to shake like crazy and i noticed that the parking break was still on!! What the crap did I just do to my car? How much is it gonna cost to fix it? Please answer, I'm freaking out over here!

You may have warped the rotors in the back. I assume the parking brake goes to the back, and that you have disk brakes all the way around.
Excessive heat can warp brake rotors or drums. The brake being on for a long time created a lot of heat and some wear on the pads.
If it still shakes when you brake at high speeds, the rotors are still warped. |

You just burned your back brake pads up and maybe your drums to
you will have to replace them. Pads is about $18.00 or $19.00 a set
one side the roteas is about $20.00 or $30.00 a peace |

You probably burnt out your parking break. That's something you might want to replace sometime soon. That's not going to be cheap...so yeah. Have fun with that. How you didn't smell it burning, I don't know...
Why were you going 90 anyway? The highest posted speed limit I know of is 80 (and that's in Texas.) |
