Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks can lead to a loss of braking efficiency and increased stopping distances.

Worn brake pads or rotors

Over time, brake pads wear down and rotors can become warped or worn, resulting in reduced braking performance and potential damage to other brake components.

Brake noise

Squealing, grinding, or clicking noises can indicate issues such as worn brake pads, loose components, or debris caught in the braking system.

Brake pedal feels spongy

This can be caused by air in the brake lines, which reduces the hydraulic pressure and affects braking performance.

Abs warning light

An illuminated ABS warning light can indicate a problem with the anti-lock braking system, such as a faulty sensor or wiring issue.

Brake fade

Prolonged or intense use of the brakes, such as during heavy towing or driving in mountainous areas, can cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.

Hydraulic system failure

Issues such as a faulty master cylinder, brake booster, or brake lines can result in a complete loss of braking power.

Contaminated brake fluid

Brake fluid can become contaminated with moisture or debris, leading to reduced braking performance and potential damage to the braking system components.

Problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers, leading to reduced braking power.

Brake fade

Continuous or heavy braking can cause the brakes to overheat, reducing their effectiveness.

Brake pad wear

Standard brakes require regular maintenance, and worn brake pads can lead to reduced braking performance and potential rotor damage.

Abs malfunction

The Anti-lock Braking System (part of the DBS) can experience sensor failures or electronic issues, affecting braking performance and safety.

Brake rotor warping

Heavy or continuous braking can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.

Caliper sticking

Brake calipers can sometimes stick due to corrosion or lack of lubrication, causing uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking performance.

Brake pedal issues

Problems with the brake pedal, such as it feeling spongy or sinking to the floor, can indicate issues with the master cylinder or air in the brake lines.

Brake noise

Squealing, grinding, or clunking noises can indicate worn brake pads, rotor issues, or caliper problems.
