Signs and Symptoms Your Vehicle Brakes
Needs Attention:

• 1. Unusual Noises
  If you hear your brakes squeal or make a grinding noise when you use them, it’s a sign that they may need adjustment or replacement. Grinding noises are particularly serious, as they indicate that your brake pads are worn may need to be replaced.
• 2. Brake Warning Lights
  If the brake or Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) warning light on your dashboard lights up, it means you’re running on low brake fluid. —usually low fluid means that there’s a leak somewhere in your brake lines .
• 3. Pulling
  If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it could mean your brakes need to be checked there is a possible brake fluid leakage, or your brakes are worn out and need to be replaced.
• 4. Pedal Problems
  If your brake pedal feels “spongy” or hard to press down, it usually means that air has gotten into the brake lines. You may also be having an issue with low brake fluid. Be sure to check your master cylinder and your brake lines.
• 5. Bad Vibrations
  If your steering wheel, brake pedal or entire car shakes or vibrates when you apply the brakes, your brake rotors may be warped and need replacement.
