1 week after I changed the brake pads (40,000 mi.) I noticed the brakes were gently applying themselves. The brake pedal would gradually lose free play, and the traction control light would come on. Shut it off, let the wheels cool, and everything is fine again...for about 10 miles. With the engine off, I had my wife pump the brakes 3 times and continue to apply pressure as I bled each brake again making sure no air was in the line. It was fine for 20 miles then started doing it again. The sequence. 1. Normal brakes and free-pedal. 2. Resistance and less free-pedal. 3. Traction control light comes on. 4. Feel bad about driving with some braking being applied and terrible gas milage. 5. Normal again once the brakes cool down. help
