Signs of Brake Failure

The key to catching potential problems before they exacerbate is to learn how to diagnose your brakes for failure. Everyone has brakes on their car and knows how to use them, but how many drivers actually know how to tell if your brakes are failing? Here at Northtown Toyota, our service team seeks to bridge that gap with several insightful brake diagnostic tips that can help you increase the life expectancy of your brakes, including:

• Loud Noises - If you hear any noises that sound like high-pitched squealing or metal-to-metal grinding, it's an indication that your brakes need to be checked immediately. In most cases, loud noises coming from your brakes signify that your brake pads need to be replaced.
• Burning Odors - Foul smelling and putrid odors emanating from your brakes indicate a potential fluid leak or excessive friction between your pads and calipers. If you continue to smell foul odors seeping up through the floor from your brakes, we recommend getting them checked out as soon as possible.
• Lack of Stopping Power - If you try to stop and your brake pedal goes all the way to the floor, you could have air in the braking system that is disrupting the flow of equally distributed brake fluid. Conversely, if your brake pedal is too rigid and rock hard, you can also experience the problem of having too much pressure in the system.
