Warning Signs of Failing Brakes
Squealing or Squeaking Noise
The first sign of brake wear is usually a squealing or squeaking sound as you apply the brakes. This squeaking sound occurs when the brake pads are worn and require replacement. When you hear this squeaking or squealing noise, it is time to have your brakes serviced before more extensive, and expensive, complications arise.
Brakes Smell "Hot"
If you are finding it harder to stop your car, or it is necessary to pump the brakes when trying to stop, it is possibly due to an excessive buildup of heat around the brake assembly, which may ultimately result in brake failure. You will notice a "hot" or burning smell after you park your car if this is the case.
Car "Pulls" When Stopping
If you feel your car pulling off to one side when you attempt to stop, it is likely an indication that the brakes are out of adjustment. Over time, brakes out of adjustment will cause uneven brake wear. This will cause difficulty in handling when stopping, particularly if you have to stop abruptly at high speed.
Grinding Sound
When your brake pads are entirely worn and damaged, a grinding noise will occur. This noise is the result of metal-on-metal contact. This is a sign of a severe brake problem, and must be remedied immediately in order to avoid putting you at risk.
Difficulty Pressing the Brake Pedal
If it is necessary to apply added pressure to press down on the brake pedal, it is possibly a sign that the vacuum assist unit, a mechanism that makes it easy to press the brake pedal, has a leak. This will require examination and possible servicing.
