Brakes - Do you understand the warning signs?

Are you familiar with the warning signs of brake problems?

It's essential to be aware of these signs and get your brakes checked regularly. Neglecting your brakes could lead to unseen or unexpected issues that could impact your ability to brake safely and efficiently when you need it the most.

Signs your brakes need attention

  • Impaired Stopping Ability: Your car takes longer than usual to come to a stop or requires more pressure on the brake pedal to stop.
  • Brake Light Remaining On: If your brake warning light stays on after releasing the parking brake or while driving, it could be an indication of brake system malfunction.
  • Swerving While Braking: If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it's a sign that your brakes may be unevenly worn or have a damaged component.
  • Vibration When Brakes Are Applied: Vibrations or shuddering through the steering wheel or pedal could indicate warped brake rotors.
    Sticky Brake Pedal: If your brake pedal doesn't return to its normal position, it could indicate a problem with the hydraulic system or the brake pads.
  • Excessive Noise from the Brakes: Grinding, screeching or squeaking noises from your brakes may indicate that your brake pads are worn out.
  • Brake Pedal Feels Spongy or Harder Than Normal: A spongy brake pedal may indicate air in the hydraulic brake lines, while a harder pedal than normal may indicate a failing brake booster.

Brake maintenance is a crucial part of owning a vehicle, and it should not be taken for granted. Two essential aspects of brake maintenance include brake pads and fluid flushing. Brake pads need to be checked and replaced when necessary, and fluid flushing is necessary to ensure that your brake fluid is clean and free from contaminants that can harm your braking system.
