Problems:

Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly. Leaks in the brake lines, master cylinder, or calipers can lead to a loss of braking power.
Brake pedal feels spongy
This can be caused by air trapped in the brake lines, which reduces the hydraulic pressure needed for effective braking.
Brake fade
Heavy use, especially in a vehicle with a powerful engine like the 310-320 hp V8, can cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.
Warped brake rotors
V-shaped engines like the Ford V8 in the Lincoln Navigator can generate a lot of heat, which can cause the brake rotors to warp over time, leading to vibrations during braking.
Abs malfunction
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) can sometimes fail due to sensor issues or electronic control unit (ECU) problems, leading to reduced braking efficiency.
Brake noise
Squealing or grinding noises can indicate worn brake pads or issues with the brake calipers.
Brake pedal pulsation
This can occur due to uneven rotor wear or deposits on the brake rotors, causing the brake pedal to pulsate during braking.
Master cylinder failure
The master cylinder can wear out over time, leading to a spongy brake pedal or reduced braking power.
Brake booster failure
A failing brake booster can make the brake pedal hard to press and reduce the overall braking efficiency.
Brake line corrosion
Especially in older vehicles or those exposed to harsh conditions, brake lines can corrode and eventually fail, leading to brake fluid leaks and reduced braking power.
