Symptoms and warning signs of brake problems
Failure of brakes can cause the following symptoms:
- Squeaking or squealing audibly
- Grinding and stopping
- Steering column shakes
- The brake pedal is spongy
- Brakes push the vehicle to the side
- Car wobbles at highway speeds
The most common cause of brake problems is worn brake pads and rotors. In addition to slowing your vehicle, your brake pads distribute heat so that it doesn't overheat. Both pieces of a brake contribute to its functionality. It is possible to replace these pieces if they are damaged.
Brake problems can also be caused by low brake fluid levels. You can slow or stop your car more quickly by applying more pressure to the brake pedal. Besides preventing corrosion, it also protects your brakes' metal components.
