Brakes: “While driving through stop and go traffic, I noticed that one or both front brakes were dragging. This was evident because the vehicle acceleration was reduced, there was a smell of hot brakes, the vehicle did not roll when on a hill with the brakes released, there was a vibration in the steering wheel, and there was reduced free play in the brake pedal. I pulled over and checked the front brakes, the right one was very hot. I tapped on the caliper with a hitch pin that was available, after which the vehicle was drivable. …”
