Warning Signs
- Drag - If the vehicle has sticking brakes, hot wheels, or loss of engine power, it could be due to brakes that fail to release. This situation could potentially leave the vehicle without brakes.
- Grab - If the brakes grab at the slightest pressure, it could be a problem with grease or oil contaminated linings or a loose or broken component that could fail in an emergency.
- Pull - If the vehicle pulls to the side when braking it could be due to an under inflated tire, brakes in need of adjustment, or brakes requiring repair.
- Squeal - Some braking noise is normal, but it should be minimal. The brakes need attention if you hear: squealing, grinding, screeching, clattering, or groaning.
- Vibration - If the brake pedal or steering wheel shakes or vibrates when brakes are applied, it may be due to: rotors in need of resurfacing, loose component, or faulty steering mechanism.
