      Symptoms of Brake Problems

      If your brake system is acting differently, you might want to understand what problems might be developing. Check this list for a brake symptom similar to yours.

      1. Squealing or Squeaking Noises

        • Cause: Worn-out brake pads often produce a high-pitched squeal, thanks to a built-in wear indicator that alerts you it's time for a replacement.

      2. Grinding Sound When Braking

        • Cause: If the brake pads are completely worn down, the metal backing plate can scrape against the rotor, causing a harsh grinding noise and potential rotor damage.

      3. Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal

        • Cause: Air in the brake lines, old or contaminated brake fluid, or a failing master cylinder can make the pedal feel soft or require more effort to stop.

      4. Vehicle Pulling to One Side

        • Cause: Uneven wear on brake pads, a stuck caliper, or a brake fluid imbalance can cause the car to veer to one side when braking.

      5. Vibration or Pulsation in the Brake Pedal

        • Cause: Warped rotors, caused by excessive heat or improper installation, can lead to vibrations when braking, much like a washing machine on an uneven spin cycle.

      6. Burning Smell While Braking

        • Cause: Overheated brakes, often from prolonged downhill braking or "riding" the brakes, can produce a sharp, chemical-like burning odor.

      7. Brake Warning Light Illuminated

        • Cause: This can signal low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or a problem with the brake system, such as the ABS module.

      8. Increased Stopping Distance

        • Cause: Worn pads, glazed rotors, or low brake fluid can reduce braking efficiency, making it take longer to stop the vehicle.

      9. Brake Fluid Leaks

        • Cause: Damaged brake lines, a leaking master cylinder, or loose fittings can cause brake fluid to pool under the car or result in reduced hydraulic pressure.

      10. Brake Pedal Feels Hard
