Signs of a Brake Problem
If your brakes are
experiencing an issue, it's likely that they'll exhibit some signs that they
need help. None of these should ever be ignored, or the problem could worsen
and cause damage, leading to the need for further repairs. Be sure to bring
your car in for regularly scheduled maintenance, so your brakes are checked
periodically. That way, potential problems can be avoided
altogether.
- Strange
Sounds: Squealing, squeaking, or grinding sounds are
likely a sign that you need new brake pads or rotors.
- Warning Lights: The
ABS light on your dashboard may illuminate if there is a problem with your
anti-lock braking system. You may simply be low on brake fluid, but you'll want
to get the car checked out right away.
Pulling:
If your car appears to be pulling to the right or left when you press on the
brake pedal, your brakes may not be adjusted properly, which can be
dangerous. - Stubborn
Pedal: If it's difficult to depress your brake pedal,
there could be air trapped in the brake lines. Get the system inspected
immediately!
- Vibrations: If the
steering wheel or brake pedal is rattling or vibrating as you brake, you'll
need to get the brakes inspected immediately.
