Rear Brakes Grind in the Morning when in Reverse

Recently (when the weather started to get colder) when I backup in my driveway first thing in the morning and hit the brakes my back brakes make a grinding noise. It only ever does this when I back up first thing in the morning. It doesn't happen when driving forward and it doesn't happen after I have been driving for a mile and then put it in reverse and brake. Also it doesn't happen every morning, and I don't know if this is just a coincidence but it seems that on mornings when it is warmer it doesn't happen or the noise isn't as loud. What is the problem?

Does have rear drums or Disk brakes?

  • Anonymous Dec 30, 2009

    Some brake pads have silver lining, some have ceramic pads and some are metalic or semi metalic. Those semi metalic and metalic they have tendency to colect rust in cloudy or wet days and when vehicle is paked overnight they will rust littlebit and when you are trying to go in reverse and have your foot on brake pedal that rust will make conection with disc and will make a squeaky or ginding noise. It will go away durring the prolonged drive.You may have some of these pads on your wehicle that contains semi metalic or metalic pads.Nothing to worry it just a nuissance.

I'm hearing a grinding noise when shifting gears in my 97 nissan pathfinder. It's not a full blown grind but just a slight grinding noise. It does it in reverse 1st 2nd 3rd and just started doin it in 4th....

check and/or change the transmission oil. Clutch problems are noticeable in 1st and reverse but as all the rest are syncro controlled you really do not need to use the clutch to change them. just get the engine rpms to match road speed and they will slip in. I am thinking a oil viscosity problem because of the colder weather.

Car dont start in cold weather should i fix the ignition swtch or what

cold weather seriously weakens the battery. Chemical reactions in the battery simply can't happen with the same efficiency at colder temps. Try charging the battery overnight with a 2amp "trickle charger" before a cold morning start.

I got a 1996 sunfire 4dr with 2.2 and when i go out in the morning to drive ill be going down the street tap the breaks, the rear tires lock-up, and make my rear end bounce in dry condiction, it only does...

first of all I would check the back brakes, the brakes and brake springs may need changed. the rear brakes are stickig and not retracting like they should. there could be a lot of brake dust on rear brakes, check rear brakes.

Grinding noise when backing up Jeep Liberty'06 only in the AM..

Have your rear brakes checked. It might be a brake wear indicator. Or your rear brakes are stuck on the brake drum.

Brake Light

to narrow things down... park the vehicle in the driveway over night... when you move it in the morning ... note the area of the spill on your driveway as it would apply to the car.
Two quick things... what is the level of your brake fluid and what colour and smell was the spill ?
