Most common problems:

Brake fluid leaks

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, hoses, or master cylinder, leading to a loss of braking power.

Brake fade

Overheating of the brake components can cause brake fade, reducing the effectiveness of the brakes.

Sticking brake calipers

Calipers may stick due to corrosion or debris, causing uneven brake pad wear and reduced braking performance.

Brake pad wear

Brake pads wear out over time and need regular replacement to maintain effective braking.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can fail, leading to a reduction or complete loss of hydraulic pressure in the brake system.

Warped brake rotors

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

Vacuum leak in brake booster

A leak in the brake booster vacuum can result in a hard brake pedal and reduced braking assistance.

Abs system issues

Faults in the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors or control module can lead to warning lights and reduced ABS function.

Brake light issues

Problems with the brake light switch or wiring can cause the brake lights to malfunction, posing a safety risk.

Contaminated brake fluid

Moisture or debris in the brake fluid can reduce its effectiveness and cause corrosion in the brake system components.
