Problems:
Brake fluid leaks
Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking performance.
Brake pedal feels spongy or soft
Air in the brake lines or worn-out brake fluid can cause a spongy or soft brake pedal, affecting braking efficiency.
Brake pads and rotors wear out quickly
Heavy vehicles like the Dodge Ram with an 8-cylinder engine can experience faster wear on brake pads and rotors due to the increased weight and power.
Brake warning light on the dashboard
This could indicate issues such as low brake fluid, worn brake pads, or problems with the ABS system.
Overheating brakes
Prolonged or heavy braking can cause the brakes to overheat, leading to brake fade and reduced braking performance.
Vibration or pulsation when braking
Warped brake rotors or uneven brake pad wear can cause vibrations or pulsations during braking.
Brake caliper sticking
A sticking brake caliper can cause uneven braking and increased brake pad wear on one side.
Abs system failure
Issues with the ABS sensors or control module can lead to a malfunctioning ABS system, reducing the effectiveness of braking under hard stops or slippery conditions.
Master cylinder failure
A failing master cylinder can cause a loss of hydraulic pressure, resulting in reduced braking performance or brake failure.
Brake fluid contamination
Contaminated brake fluid can reduce the effectiveness of the braking system and lead to corrosion of brake components.
