Hey all, so I got my 2020 EX CVT last month and have been noticing that when I let go of the gas pedal around 35mph, it slows down to 5mph in about 1/2 of a city block's distance (maybe 11 seconds?) on flat streets. I'm wondering is this normal engine braking? Or is it possible that my brake pads are rubbing against the rotors? I don't have a jack to boost up the car to test the wheels by spinning them, and I don't really want to drive all the way back to the dealership to ask them about it. Is there any way I can test for brake pad rubbing without lifting the car?

 

use the jack that is included in your spare tyre kit

 

I would think that if your pads were rubbing to any serious level, it would cause serious heating of the brake system and you would notice fade when driving after a while.

 

Maybe there is no jack included in OP's car accessories.

An easy way to check if brake pads are rubbing is to drive highway for a while and then stop coasting i.e. without using the service brake. Step out and test by hand if any wheel is warmer than others or even hot. Be careful, if a pad is rubbing the wheel may be burning hot.

Switch to N and see what happens then.

 

think that account is some sort of spam bot. All the posts are old threads that it repeats part of the OP

 

Who are you referring to?

OK, I see it now.
