Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems rely on brake fluid to function. Leaks can occur in the brake lines, master cylinder, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking performance.
Brake master cylinder failure
The master cylinder converts the force from the brake pedal into hydraulic pressure. If it fails, you may experience a spongy brake pedal or complete brake failure.
Brake pad and rotor wear
Over time, brake pads and rotors wear down and need to be replaced. Worn pads can reduce braking efficiency and damage rotors.
Abs (anti-lock braking system) issues
The ABS system can develop problems such as faulty sensors, which can cause the ABS light to illuminate and reduce braking safety.
Caliper problems
Brake calipers can seize or fail, leading to uneven braking or the vehicle pulling to one side when braking.
Brake booster failure
The brake booster helps reduce the effort needed to apply the brakes. If it fails, you might experience a hard brake pedal and reduced braking power.
Contaminated brake fluid
Over time, brake fluid can absorb moisture and contaminants, reducing its effectiveness and potentially causing corrosion in the brake system.
Brake light issues
Faulty brake light switches or wiring problems can cause brake lights to malfunction, which is a safety hazard and can lead to legal issues.
