Your vehicle's brakes are one of its most critical safety features. Over time, brake components experience wear and tear and will eventually need service or replacement. Here are three warning signs that your brakes may need attention:
1. Unusual Noises
If you hear squealing, squeaking, or grinding noises when applying the brakes, it could indicate that your brake pads are worn down and need replacement. Ignoring these noises can damage your rotors and lead to more costly repairs.
2. Vibrating Brake Pedal
If you feel a pulsating or vibrating sensation in the brake pedal when braking, your rotors may be warped. Warped rotors can compromise braking performance and should be resurfaced or replaced as soon as possible.
3. Brake Warning Light
If your vehicle's brake warning light turns on, it means your brake system needs attention. The light could indicate anything from low brake fluid to a problem with the anti-lock braking system. Have your brakes inspected right away to diagnose the issue.
