Is this normal? Brakes looked engaged

[09cs]

I took the car out for the first time in a little while, and something didn’t “feel right”. Looked around and it looks like the brakes are engaged on all 4. I’ve never noticed this before, is this normal?

yeah you def don't want the delay of pads not already against the rotor, there's no pressure so all is good....

what was the feeling? if rotors had some surface rust from sitting that could make some noise till they clean up....

Yea, the breaks were kind of stuck when I was trying to back out this morning too. It felt like the brakes were catching on the rotors. But could be the surface rust. I'll take it out again and see if it goes away

Yes that is normal. And yes sometimes brakes do catch on rotors. Happens often due to rain or high humidity etc etc. Nothing to worry about. Break them lose by pulling away and just drive.

^ Yes, they will "stick" if you leave the car parked for a few days after washing or driving through rain. Just move out and crack them loose and drive it and they will clean themselves up.

Unfortunately the only way to really know if our brakes are stuck is when we drive it and there's resistance.

only had to move from the garage to street to let some construction workers in. I plan on taking it out more tonight to see if the feeling goes away

Another reminder: After washing your car, drive it till it hits normal operating temp or at least brake enough to get the rotors hot. The pads will stick to the rotors if you don't do that. Makes an interesting sound when you try and move the car.

It scares me every time I move it after I wash when they unstick! Drove it around, all good

When I picked up my 2017 the dealer had just washed it and had it in the showroom ready to go when I arrived. Eased the clutch out and there's a big 'crack', I think they set me up...
