Multiple brake problems TBH.

1) The brake pedal hisses like air is escaping. If I put my foot under the pedal and pull it towards me it stops.

2) Driver's caliper makes a clank noise whenever I press the pedal. It is like a hammer hitting a piece of metal slightly. Is it the caliper closing on the disc suddenly?

3) Steering judders when braking at 50km/h +.

I feel no spongyness and car brakes ok but still the juddering and noises make me feel having unsafe brakes.

3) I'm 98% sure this is due to warped discs.

Could be because I did not buy GM and they weren't the best around

Never again! 2.0 discs most probably will be next.
