The Most Common Brake Problems
There are a few symptoms you will notice if your brakes are malfunctioning, such as:
- Squealing or squeaking sounds
- Grinding while stopping
- There is a spongy feel to the brake pedal
- As you brake, your vehicle pulls to one side
- You may feel your car wobble or vibrate as you drive on the highway
A worn brake pad or rotor is the most common cause of brake problems. Rotors and brake pads work together to stop your vehicle by creating friction and dispersing heat. Both pieces must work together for the brakes to function properly. Fortunately, at Christian Brothers Automotive Bryan, we can replace these pieces if they are damaged.
It is also possible that your brakes are malfunctioning due to low brake fluid. When you press the brake pedal, this fluid increases the force added to the brake system, which slows or stops your vehicle. Additionally, it prevents your brakes' internal metal components from corroding.
