Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function properly. Leaks can lead to reduced braking efficiency or complete brake failure.

Continuous use of brakes, especially in heavy or high-speed applications, can cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.

Brake pads wear down over time and need to be replaced to maintain proper braking performance.

The master cylinder is crucial in a hydraulic brake system. Failure can result in a loss of braking power or inconsistent braking.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can malfunction, causing the ABS to not work properly, which can affect vehicle control during braking.

Excessive heat or aggressive braking can cause brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and reduced braking efficiency.

Air pockets in the hydraulic brake lines can cause spongy brakes and reduce braking performance.

Corrosion in brake lines can lead to leaks and reduced hydraulic pressure in the brake system, affecting braking power.

Sticking brake calipers can cause uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking efficiency on one side of the vehicle.

As an optional feature, if the DBS malfunctions, it can result in inconsistent braking support during emergency stops.

Engine braking can be less effective if there are problems with the engine configuration or if the engine is not performing optimally.

Warped rotors or issues with the brake pads can cause vibrations or pulsations when braking.

Malfunctions in the brake system can trigger warning lights on the dashboard, indicating an issue that needs to be addressed.

The brake booster assists in applying the necessary force to the brakes. Failure can result in a hard brake pedal and reduced braking power.

Using non-FCA approved parts can lead to compatibility issues and reduced performance in the brake system.

Hydraulic brake systems can suffer from brake fluid leaks, which can lead to reduced braking performance and even brake failure if not addressed promptly.

Prolonged use of brakes, especially in hilly or mountainous areas, can cause brake fade due to overheating, reducing braking efficiency.

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, leading to erratic brake behavior or warning lights on the dashboard.

The master cylinder in a hydraulic brake system can wear out over time, causing a spongy brake pedal feel or complete brake failure.

Brake pads and rotors will wear out over time and need regular inspection and replacement to maintain braking performance.

Brake calipers can stick due to corrosion or debris, causing uneven braking and accelerated wear on brake pads and rotors.

Brake lines can corrode, especially in areas with harsh winters or salty roads, leading to leaks and reduced braking efficiency.

In vehicles with an engine brake, the vacuum pump can fail, leading to reduced engine braking capability and increased stopping distances.

The hydraulic brake booster can malfunction, resulting in a hard brake pedal and reduced braking power.

The brake pedal switch can fail, impacting the operation of brake lights and the vehicle's ability to disengage cruise control.
