Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from brake fluid leaks, which can lead to reduced braking performance and even brake failure if not addressed promptly.
Brake fade
Prolonged use of brakes, especially in hilly or mountainous areas, can cause brake fade due to overheating, reducing braking efficiency.
Abs sensor issues
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, leading to erratic brake behavior or warning lights on the dashboard.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder in a hydraulic brake system can wear out over time, causing a spongy brake pedal feel or complete brake failure.
Brake pad and rotor wear
Brake pads and rotors will wear out over time and need regular inspection and replacement to maintain braking performance.
Caliper sticking
Brake calipers can stick due to corrosion or debris, causing uneven braking and accelerated wear on brake pads and rotors.
Brake line corrosion
Brake lines can corrode, especially in areas with harsh winters or salty roads, leading to leaks and reduced braking efficiency.
Vacuum pump failure
In vehicles with an engine brake, the vacuum pump can fail, leading to reduced engine braking capability and increased stopping distances.
Hydraulic booster malfunction
The hydraulic brake booster can malfunction, resulting in a hard brake pedal and reduced braking power.
Brake pedal switch failure
The brake pedal switch can fail, impacting the operation of brake lights and the vehicle's ability to disengage cruise control.
