Signs Your Brake System Needs Service

You may seldom think about your brakes as long as the vehicle stops when you press on the brake pedal. Over time, the pedal changes the way it feels, and you adapt. However, there are some signs you will notice, which indicate that you need to bring your vehicle in for brake service.

  • The dashboard light stays lit when you turn the engine on. The light may say BRAKE, ABS, or Check Engine.
  • You notice brake fluid leaking onto the ground or another component.
  • It takes longer than normal to stop the vehicle when you press on the brake pedal.
  • You hear a squealing sound when you apply pressure to the brake pedal, which indicates the brake pads need to be replaced.
  • You notice a grinding noise when you brake, which indicates that the brake pads are wearing down the rotors.
  • The vehicle shakes when you apply the brakes, which indicates the rotors may be warped.
  • The brakes feel spongy when you press the pedal.
  • The brakes feel hard when you press on the pedal.
  • The engine stalls or misfires, which can mean that your power brake booster has gone bad.
  • The vehicle pulls to one side when you press on the brake pedal, which may mean a hydraulic issue or faulty hardware.

You can prepare for brake issues before you notice these signs if you know when the brake pads were last replaced. Most brake pads last between 20,000 and 80,000 miles, with some ceramic brakes lasting the longest. The service technician will inspect your brakes when you come in for an oil change. They will measure the depth of the brake pads and let you know if they need to be replaced right away, shortly, or if they are still in good shape.

Brake fluid should be replaced every 2 to 5 years with a fluid flush. When the technician inspects your brake pads or performs brake service, they will look at brake lines and other components to see if they are wearing out. If you notice any issues with your brakes, don’t wait for an inspection. Schedule service right away to avoid damaging rotors.
