Signs of Brake Problems
When your brake system is in need of repairs and maintenance, then you may see some of these warning signs.
- Brake Fade - Brake fade is where the harder you press on the pedal, the weaker the brakes feel.
- Brake Squeaks and Squeals - Small chirps and squealing noises when you apply your brakes are often signs that the wear indicator telling you that it's time to change your brake pads.
- Brake Scraping - Scraping noises are signs that metal parts are scraping against each other, often when the pads wear down completely.
- Brake Overheating - This problem is often from the brakes glazing over from overuse, especially when going downhill or during hot weather.
- Brake Pulsing - Uneven rotor wear and warping can cause your brakes to pulse.
- Brake Failure - Complete brake failure happens when either you don't replace your brake pads promptly or if you have a severe leak and air in the system.
The longer you wait to have these problems fixed, the worse the potential brake damage and a higher likelihood that you will be in an accident.
