have you inspected the brakes at all? You may have a seized caliper, you can jack up the car and try spinning the wheels to find out.

does it feel slower other than that? has your gasmileage suffered? and did you change anything on your car right before this happened?

naw my gas milage is amazing im in coronado and evryweekend i drive 120 mile to el centro and i dont waste more than 1/3 or a tank. i changed the radiator cause my old one cracked on me but othe than that no i havn't changed anything. if it is a seized caliper how do i fix that cause i have never had to fix a siezed one just switched out brakes and clean out parts.

if a caliper was seized that would be causing alot of resistance and your gas mileage and acceleration would be terrible, and the brakes would make a lot of noise
