The Warning Signs of Brake Failure

Recognizing warning signs from your brakes is crucial for maintaining safe driving conditions. Here are some common indicators that your brakes may require attention:

  • Squealing or Screeching: High-pitched noises when braking could signal worn brake pads. This occurs when a small metal shim, known as an indicator, rubs against the rotor due to significant pad wear.
  • Grinding: A grinding or growling noise typically indicates that brake pads are worn down completely, and the metal backing is grinding against the brake rotor. Immediate attention is needed to prevent rotor damage.
  • Vibration or Pulsation: If you feel a pulsating or vibrating sensation in the brake pedal, it could indicate warped brake rotors. This issue can affect braking performance and should be inspected promptly.
  • Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal: A brake pedal that feels soft or spongy may suggest air or moisture in the brake lines, or it could indicate worn brake pads or a brake system leak. This requires immediate attention to ensure effective braking.
  • Pulling to One Side: When your vehicle pulls to one side while braking, it may result from uneven brake pad wear, a stuck caliper, or brake fluid contamination. Addressing this promptly is essential for proper vehicle handling.
  • Burning Smell: A burning odor, particularly noticeable while driving or after stopping, could indicate overheated brakes. Causes include dragging brake pads, seized calipers, or driving with the parking brake engaged.

If you observe any of these warning signs, it's vital to have your brakes inspected and serviced promptly. This proactive approach ensures safe driving conditions and helps prevent further damage to your vehicle's braking system. Trust our skilled technicians at Bill Knight Mitsubishi to address these issues efficiently and keep you safely on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How often should I have my brakes inspected?

We recommend scheduling an annual brake inspection to ensure optimal performance and safety of your vehicle. The lifespan of brakes generally ranges from 25,000 to 60,000 miles, but this can vary based on individual driving habits and conditions. Regular inspections help identify any issues early on and allow for timely maintenance or replacement, ensuring your brakes continue to operate effectively and safely.

Q. Why are my brakes squeaking?

Brakes can squeak when there is insufficient lubrication or when devris trapped between the rotors and brake pads. With worn-out brake pads, you may hear loud screeching sounds when braking. Additionally, if the brake components are installed incorrectly, this can lead to unwanted friction and squeaking sounds in areas where it should not occur.

Q. Why does my brake pedal feel spongy?

A spongy/soft brake pedal is most often caused by air in the brake lines. When air gets into the brake lines, it prevents brake fluid from flowing correctly. This causes the pedal to feel spongy. If you encounter this issue, then it’s a good time to change or flush the brake fluid.

Q. Is it necessary to replace all four brakes simultaneously?

While it may seem cost-effective to replace just the work brake pads, this can lead to safety issues. Uneven brake wear can cause an imbalance in braking performance. Replacing all four brakes ensures consistent and efficient braking, enhancing your safety on the road.
