Most common problems:

Brake fluid leakage

Hydraulic brake systems can develop leaks in the brake lines, calipers, or master cylinder, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Worn brake pads

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

Brake rotor wear

Brake rotors can become warped or excessively worn, leading to vibrations or reduced braking effectiveness.

Brake caliper issues

Calipers can seize or fail, causing uneven braking or a dragging sensation.

Master cylinder failure

The master cylinder can degrade over time, leading to a spongy brake pedal or complete loss of braking power.

Abs sensor malfunction

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) sensors can fail or become dirty, causing the ABS to malfunction or the warning light to illuminate.

Brake fluid contamination

Brake fluid can absorb moisture over time, reducing its effectiveness and potentially causing corrosion in the brake system.

Brake line corrosion

Older vehicles like the 1999 Mitsubishi Montero can experience brake line corrosion, leading to leaks or failure of the brake lines.
