Properly functioning brakes are essential for the safety of you and your passengers. But how do you know when it's time to have your vehicle's brakes serviced? Here are three key signs to watch out for:
1. Squealing or Grinding Noises
If you hear a high-pitched squealing sound when applying the brakes, it likely means the brake pads are wearing thin and need to be replaced soon. If you hear either of these sounds, it's best to have your brakes inspected right away.
2. Vibrating Brake Pedal
If the brake pedal vibrates or pulses when you press down on it, especially at highway speeds, it usually means the rotors are warped. Warped rotors can happen due to heavy wear or from the vehicle sitting unused for an extended period.
3. Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal
If the brake pedal feels "soft" or sinks all the way to the floor when you press it, there may be air or moisture in the braking system. In some cases, it could indicate a fluid leak or more serious problem.
