Default brake sticking........

hi guys!! i have a problem with the brakes on my car.. for example if i didint use the car for two days or more, evey time i start the car and start moving it it barely moves like the brakes are sticking or stoping the car from moving.by the way the handbrake is already dis engage. and im not steping on the brake pedal...its really hard to move the car. i have to rev it a bit high then i would hear a loud sound of like TOG from the brakes or the car.. could it be brakes or differential???... what could be wrong?? pls help me.. thanks!

It's normal. It happens when the rotors get wet. No biggie. I have that problem after I wash my car and sit it overnight. The same thing happens when it rains.

were you really hard on the brakes before you parked it last and pulled up that e-brake?

That could be a problem.

If you are parking on a flat spot, don't bother pulling your ebrake all the way up. I usually just pull the handle up a bit (ie I don't need to use a lot of force to yank that thing up)

Then just leave it in gear ...
