Hi all, I've been checking existing threads but it seems like there are a lot of factors in brake issues.
My situation:
After accelerating for a period of time, even 15 seconds or so, the brakes take 2 pumps before they engage, they engage normally until I accelerate again, however they feel very rough like if abs wasn't engaging on a newer car. Additionally, the ride has become very bumpy/rough and there is "burnt rubber" smell coming from the rear wheels.
The rear drums were fully replaced over the summer by a local shop back in my hometown, these issues began today. I don't think there is air in the system as the brakes were placed over 3 months ago. I don't see any leaking from any of the lines.
HOWEVER, last week I took my car to get undercoated and inspected. they did a good job with the undercoating but failed me for inspection. They were both very strict and actually lied about at least 2 "issues" with my car. I don't think they intentionally messed anything up, but I also had to replace my power steering line over the weekend after I went to that shop.
TLDR: Brakes take 2 pumps to engage and when they do they are very "rough". The ride is also rough and feels like it's from the rear axle/wheels (resistance), there is also a burnt rubber smell coming from the rear wheels. No visible leaks of brake fluid. Potentially multiple problems at play?
