I moved my car into the driveway this morning and when applying the brakes to stop, it made a horrendous rubbing/vibrating sound. My first thought was that the pads have completely worn to the censor but usually that happens gradually as you drive as the pads wear, no? That's the first strange thing, the second is I came back out 30 minutes later and there is no more sign of the problem. It did rain here last night. Any ideas?

Probably some rusting of the rotors from the rain. Once the braking took off the rust, you are now back to normal. Happens to me everytime I wash my car.

I would not worry about this. I occasionally get this problem when stopping at the bottom of the hill. Most times it occurs following rain or when wet.

ACF, yes, I have had that too, actually more on this car than others,imo, seems to be quick rust on the rotors as NEO posted.

Makes sense, thanks for the replies. I'll keep an eye on her.

Happens to me on every car Iv'e owned, after it's been out in the rain or if I just washed it.

It sure is annoying and embarrasing when you first drive the car after you've washed and waxed the car and you roll it backwards out of the garage. Instead of a nice rollout, it's a loud, resonating scratching noise to awaken the neighbors. . .
