First problem:
when i park my car on a hill and leave it sit for a while, the brake pedal becomes hard as a rock. the pressure doesn't release (so i can actually brake) until the car is started. When I say pressure, I should really say it feels like they are locked; no matter how hard i push, the pedal won't depress. What should I look over? Brake cylinder, lines? It's ONLY a problem on hills (or my driveway which isn't that steep.)
Second Problem:
My ebrake has slowly lost its holding power. For a while it seemed to only engage one side (the passenger side) but now it does nothing. I noticed when I would pull the brake line a bit (was working with the wheels off on the exhaust), the ebrake would engage a bit (handle was up). Eventually I play with the adjusters but could this be related to my brake pedal issue and a more serious problem?
The pads are fairly new, rotors are good, lines were bled when I changed the pads out, and the car stops just fine while driving, pedal feels good.
