Common Brake Problems
Brakes wear out over time. They can also be damaged in accidents or become a second problem after another part in your car breaks. Whatever caused the problem, we can find the issue and repair it. Some of the most common brake problems include issues with these parts:
- Rotors: When they’re manufactured, casting issues or material impurities can create weak points in rotors. After years of use, these weak points crack under the pressure of brake usage. While slight imperfections are normal, any cracking should be addressed as soon as it starts.
- Brake pads: Brake pads are the most common culprits of brake issues, as the parts wear out over time. You should have brake pads replaced around every 50,000 miles or sooner if they become weak before then. Have your brake pads checked for problems if they squeal or make other noises.
- Hydraulic system: Most automotive brakes are hydraulic, which means they rely on pressurized fluids to function. This hydraulic fluid should stay clean and contained within the system. Any fluid leaks or fluid contamination should be remedied as soon as possible.
Other parts, such as the brake hose or the brake pedal could also experience problems that affect your braking system. If your car takes more effort to brake than usual or makes any unusual noises while braking, you should have it inspected by a trusted mechanic.
