Problems:
Brake fluid leak
Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from brake fluid leaks, which can reduce braking effectiveness.
Worn brake pads
Over time, brake pads wear out and need to be replaced to ensure effective braking.
Brake caliper issues
Brake calipers can stick or seize, leading to uneven braking or reduced braking power.
Brake rotor wear
Brake rotors can become warped or excessively worn, affecting braking performance.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can fail, leading to a loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake system.
Air in brake lines
Air trapped in the brake lines can reduce the hydraulic pressure, leading to spongy brakes.
Vacuum booster malfunction
A malfunction in the vacuum booster can result in hard brake pedal feel and reduced braking efficiency.
Abs sensor failure
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail, leading to the ABS system not functioning properly.
Brake light malfunction
Issues with brake lights can occur, such as blown bulbs or faulty wiring.
Brake pedal issues
Problems with the brake pedal linkage or return springs can cause the pedal to feel soft or spongy.
