Recently I've seen a lot of 2004-2009 GM vehicles have collapsed/partially blocked brake hoses where the mounting brackets are crimped on. Just saw a G6 that has ate through front brakes like crazy and the idiot mechanics kept replacing rotors, calipers, and pads but it kept happening. Anyway, they stop fine but the fluid doesn't really go back into the master when you release. So the brakes drag a bit until you turn hard a few times to flex it enough to push the piston back in. I've been finding the issues using an infrared temperature reader.
i read something about a rubber hose issue once before, but couldn't see how a hose would hold psi from going back. after driving home ... the issue spot should be hotter?
