It has been a month now since I replaced the MC and flushed all the lines. The problem hasn't occurred again.

I have discovered the issue with the caliper seizing up have nothing to do with the caliper itself. I can always get the caliper to release by cracking open the brake line anywhere. You make a good point. But I am not 100% convinced by that. Diagnostics can come up a false positive or a false negat...

Chiming in here even though I have not taken a Vibe front brake apart. However I did so on a Mazda Protege. In the Protege the lower slide pin is placed inside a rubber sleeve that goes all the way through the hole in the caliper. The upper slide pin has individual rubber boots on either side of th...

How do the brakes feel overall? Spongey? Stop pretty darn good? Does it pull one way or the other when braking?

Brakes feel good overall until the one caliper starts dragging and eventually locks up.

How many miles does the car have on it? Many times the rubber boot over the slide pins of the caliper gets unseated during removal/install, and then allows dirt and such to get into it. That's typically what causes these calipers to seize up. Rebuilt/remanned calipers from box stores always end up ...

Welcome to GV. Depending on your location (we love that info, btw), these calipers are a kinda poor design and always freeze up. My '03 GT has been OK for almost a year now, but I think i was replacing them every 8 months or so. They build up a lot of corrosion here in PA, so I'm blaming that. Than...

If you can relieve the pressure between the MBC and the brake itself, and the brake releases, then tMhat seems to point to the MBC itself. Like a valve has gone one-way. I've never really researched the ABS systems other than to know that I don't like what mine does, but the pulse-release function ...

I have a 2005 Vibe with ABS. The front passenger caliper has been locking up and not releasing. I have been searching the internet and this seems to be a problem for several others and it is always the front passenger caliper. I have replaced the front calipers (twice), new pads, new rotors, new bra...
