Common brake problems & warning signs:
When your brakes are malfunctioning, you'll notice the following symptoms:
- Sound of squealing or squeaking
- The grinding while stopping
- Steering column shaking
- Brake pedal that is spongy
- When you brake, your vehicle is pushed to one side
- Highway speeds make your car wobble or vibrate
Worn brake pads and rotors are usually the culprits of brake problems. The friction created by your brake pads slows your vehicle, while the heat dispersed by your rotors prevents overheating. A brake's functionality depends on both pieces. If either of these pieces becomes damaged, we can replace them.
Brake problems may also be caused by low brake fluid. By pressing down on the pedal, you are adding force to your braking system, which becomes amplified pressure that slows or stops your car. As well as keeping your brakes corrosion-free, it also protects their internal metal components.
