Can brake pads go bad from sitting around? I put new pads and rotors on about 6 months before my engine blew. The brakes flet pretty good. Then it sat for 5 months. When I finally got my truck back about 2 months ago I noticed that it didnt want to stop. I thought it was just because some build up or something that would eventually wear off but it hasnt improved. There are stains on my rotors in the shape of the pads from where they sat for months. These stains have not come off. Should I get new pads and have my rotors cut? I really dont want to get the rotors cut because then they will be more prone to warping. These rotors are basically brand new and so are the pads. I dont think they have more than 4000 miles on them and I am very easy on my brakes. When I do use them hard I smell them burning... especially the rears.
