Common Brake Problems:

• Sticking Brake Pedal: If your brake pedal stays down, your master cylinder is faulty. Ignoring this can lead to costly repairs and even total brake failure.
• Squeaky & Noisy Brakes: If you hear squeaking, grinding, or squealing sounds, it’s usually a sign that the brake pads or linings are worn. It’s time for a brake inspection.
• Car Pulls to One Side: If your car pulls to a side when you brake, it could be due to uneven tyre pressure, or it can be an issue with your braking system, especially the calipers.
• Brakes Locking Up: If your brakes lock with minimal pressure, it can be caused by grease or oil on brake linings or loose, broken components. This makes brake lock & increase risk of accidents.
• Vibration: Vibration in pedal, steering, or entire vehicle when you apply brakes indicate issues with brake drum, rotor, steering mechanism, or other loose components.
• Brake Pedal Pulsations: If the brake pedal pulses when you apply pressure, the brake discs or drums are misaligned. This is dangerous in wet conditions & cause uneven brakes & tyres wear.
• Dashboard Warning Light: If your brake warning light comes on, it’s a serious sign that your brakes are nearing failure. Get it checked immediately.
• Hard Brake Pedal: If you have to press down very hard on your brake pedal, it’s a sign that power brakes, hydraulic lines, callipers, wheel cylinders, or brake linings might be damaged.
• Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A spongy brake pedal can indicate moisture in the brake fluid. Clean brake fluid is essential for optimal brake performance.
• Low Brake Pedal: If your brakes don’t work until the brake pedal is on the floor, it’s time for a brake inspection. Your brakes need to respond fast in emergencies, so don’t ignore this.
