Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly. Leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency or complete brake failure.
Brake fade
Continuous use of brakes, especially in heavy or high-speed applications, can cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.
Worn brake pads
Brake pads wear down over time and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder is crucial in a hydraulic brake system. Failure can result in a loss of braking power or inconsistent braking.
Abs sensor issues
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can malfunction, causing the ABS to not work properly, which can affect vehicle control during braking.
Brake rotor warping
Excessive heat or aggressive braking can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.
Air in brake lines
Air pockets in the hydraulic brake lines can cause spongy brakes and reduce braking performance.
Corroded brake lines
Corrosion in brake lines can lead to leaks and reduced hydraulic pressure in the brake system, affecting braking power.
Brake caliper sticking
Sticking brake calipers can cause uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking efficiency on one side of the vehicle.
Dynamic brake support (dbs) malfunction
As an optional feature, if the DBS malfunctions, it can result in inconsistent braking support during emergency stops.
Engine braking issues
Engine braking can be less effective if there are problems with the engine configuration or if the engine is not performing optimally.
Vibration during braking
Warped rotors or issues with the brake pads can cause vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Brake warning lights
Malfunctions in the brake system can trigger warning lights on the dashboard, indicating an issue that needs to be addressed.
Brake booster failure
The brake booster assists in applying the necessary force to the brakes. Failure can result in a hard brake pedal and reduced braking power.
Compatibility of aftermarket parts
Using non-FCA approved parts can lead to compatibility issues and reduced performance in the brake system.
