How to Diagnose Brake Problems

Having brake problems while driving is a scary experience, and one that you can avoid by paying attention to a few critical warning signs.

If you feel a pulsing or grinding when applying pressure to the brake pedal, that is a sure sign that your brake pads are worn and it's time to have them replaced. Brake pads wear out more quickly than any other brake component, so having them inspected at every oil change is a good way to ensure they're still in good condition.

If you feel a vibration while braking, you may have a warped brake rotor. This often occurs with older rotors that are already worn, and excessive heat can cause deformations in the rotor surface that you only feel when pressure is applied to the brake pedal. In this instance, replacing the brake rotors as soon as possible is the only course of action to prevent further trouble.

A soft brake pedal occurs when you are running low on brake fluid. Whether you have a leak in your system or a faulty brake caliper, a soft brake pedal is a sign of serious brake problems and you should schedule a service appointment immediately.
