Brake pads wear down over time and need regular inspection and replacement to maintain effective braking performance.
Abs sensor failure
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) sensors can fail, leading to warning lights on the dashboard and potential loss of ABS functionality.
Overheating brakes
Heavy use, such as towing or frequent braking, can cause brakes to overheat, reducing their effectiveness and potentially damaging components.
Brake pedal issues
Problems with the brake pedal, such as it feeling spongy or going to the floor, can indicate air in the brake lines or a failing master cylinder.
Hydraulic hose wear
Hydraulic hoses can wear out or become damaged over time, leading to fluid leaks and reduced braking performance.
Brake rotor warping
Brake rotors can warp due to excessive heat or uneven wear, causing vibrations or pulsations when braking.
Caliper sticking
Brake calipers can stick due to corrosion or debris, which can cause uneven braking and increased pad wear.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can fail internally, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure and reduced braking ability.
