Have your brakes been issuing strange sounds or vibrations? Have you sensed a weakening in stopping power? If you suspect a worn-out brake pad or rotor, have it replaced at your local Acura dealership before it stops performing properly. Here are the most common symptoms that a car is in need of brake repair, plus guidance on how frequently you should have your brakes inspected. more Common Brake Repair Symptoms The brake pads are squeezed against the rotors whenever you slow or stop your car. This generates enormous friction and also steadily wears down each brake pad. Once a pad is on its last legs, it's designed to emit a high-pitched squealing sound, indicating it's time for a replacement. When rotors are damaged or worn out, you'll probably feel vibrations through the brake pedal whenever you use it. Odd sounds should also never be ignored. Grinding or clattering noises might indicate caliper problems or a severely worn-out brake pad that needs to be replaced at once. Urgent Warning Signs of Brake Trouble If you ever press the brake pedal and your car fails to slow down as rapidly as usual, pull over safely to inspect your brakes. Diminished brake force is hazardous and you shouldn't drive again until the fault is resolved. Your brakes might be overheating, which can occur as a result of prolonged usage in heavy traffic. Overheating occasionally leads to brake fade, where melting brake pad resin releases a small amount of gas, preventing full friction against the rotor. Weakened brakes might also point to leaking brake fluid. The brake fluid maintains hydraulic pressure inside the brake lines, carrying the stopping signal to the calipers. If your brake fluid is leaking, the brakes will probably feel spongy as well as weaker. Check under your car and in the wheel wells for puddles of oily yellow or brown fluid. Book Biannual Brake Inspections at Your Acura Dealership As brake problems tend to develop gradually over time, you can usually catch them early on with frequent brake inspections. It's wise to have your brakes examined by a professional at least twice a year. A full inspection involves the brake fluid and lines being checked under the hood and also under the car. Your vehicle will be raised so our technicians can remove the wheels, calipers, rotors, and pads, examining each component for excessive wear and tear. This way, we can also let you know how much longer each part will last and you're less likely to be surprised on the road.
