Happy 4th of July everyone!
After a 4th of July joyride on PCH and a canyon run I think I've experienced brake overheating. I came to a complete stop on PCH a few minutes after the canyon decent and there was an audible grinding noise that would rhythmically increase or decrease with my speed. No light on my dash, car still drove/braked fine in stop/go traffic. I drove carefully the remaining 3 miles home and the noise subsided by the time I arrived.
This car is new to me so I had traction control in its default 'on' position. Is this bad for the car with spirited driving? I notice my rotors have a groove close to the hub but it appears even and in the same location on both.
Would overheating brakes make a grinding noise?
