Brake issues.....need help
After 20 minutes of driving the brakes start engaging on their own. After stopping for 30 minutes they let loose again. I bled the brake system, worked well for a day or so then it started again. Was wondering which angle I should try and tackle this from first? :banghead: :chevy

Often that is caused by the flexable brake hoses collapsing internally. If they are old its not a bad idea for good measure.

Sounds like your brake fluid level in the reservoir might bee to high. when everything gets hot and expands it can apply brake pressure. try loweing your level a little. You might be able to confirm this if while it is occuring, open the lid on the master cylinder, if brake fluid pours out, your level is definatley too high.
