Frequently Asked Questions:
Common signs include squealing, scraping or grinding noises; vibration when braking; a soft or spongy pedal; increased stopping distance; pulling to one side; or a brake warning light. A burning smell near a wheel or visible brake-fluid leak also requires attention. Brake problems do not always create noise, so any noticeable change in braking performance should be inspected. AAA identifies noise, vibration, unusual pedal feel and increased stopping distance as common signs of brake trouble.
There is no single interval that applies to every vehicle. Brake wear depends on driving habits, vehicle weight, traffic, terrain, towing and the materials used in the braking system. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule and schedule an inspection whenever braking performance changes. Littleton drivers should also consider an inspection before towing, taking a long road trip or driving through Colorado’s mountains.
Brake-pad life varies considerably. Frequent stop-and-go driving, hard braking, towing and mountain travel can cause pads to wear faster. Front and rear brakes may also wear at different rates. Because mileage alone cannot show how much friction material remains, a physical inspection and pad-thickness measurement provide a more accurate answer. Hybrid and electric vehicles may experience different wear patterns because regenerative braking assists the conventional brakes.
A brake inspection may include measuring the brake pads or shoes, evaluating the rotors or drums, checking calipers and hydraulic components, and inspecting brake hoses, lines and fluid. The technician may also look for leaks, uneven wear, corrosion and heat damage. If the vehicle has a warning light, vibration, pulling or unusual pedal feel, further diagnostic testing may be needed before recommending repairs.
No. Whether the rotors need replacement depends on their thickness, surface condition, runout, corrosion, cracking and manufacturer specifications. Some rotors remain serviceable when new pads are installed, while others may be too worn or damaged to reuse safely. Measuring the rotors is more reliable than automatically replacing them or judging their condition only by appearance.
Vibration may be caused by rotor thickness variation, uneven friction deposits, excessive runout or worn steering and suspension components. Pulling may result from a sticking caliper, uneven brake wear, contaminated friction material, tire concerns or a hydraulic problem. Alignment can also cause pulling, but a vehicle that pulls primarily when the brakes are applied should have the entire braking system inspected.
A soft pedal can indicate air in the hydraulic system, deteriorated brake fluid, a leak, a damaged hose or a failing hydraulic component. If the pedal travels unusually close to the floor or the vehicle takes longer to stop, continuing to drive may be unsafe. Stop when it is safe and arrange for an inspection or tow rather than attempting to diagnose the problem through pedal feel alone.
A red brake warning light may indicate that the parking brake is engaged, the brake-fluid level is low or the hydraulic system has detected a problem. An amber ABS light usually indicates a fault in the anti-lock braking system. Conventional braking may remain available with an ABS fault, but anti-lock assistance and related stability functions could be disabled. If both lights appear or braking feels abnormal, the vehicle should be inspected promptly.
Franklynn Automotive provides brake inspections, diagnostics and repairs for drivers in Littleton, Highlands Ranch and nearby communities. If the brakes are making noise, the pedal feels different, a warning light is illuminated or the vehicle is preparing for mountain travel, schedule an appointment to have the complete braking system evaluated.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Common warning signs include slow engine cranking, clicking when you turn the key or press the start button, dim headlights, flickering interior lights, electrical accessories behaving inconsistently, and a vehicle that frequently needs a jump-start. You may also notice corrosion around the battery terminals, an unusual sulfur-like odor, or a battery case that appears cracked, leaking, or swollen. These symptoms do not always mean the battery itself has failed, so professional testing can help determine whether the problem involves the battery, its connections, the alternator, or another part of the starting and charging system. AAA identifies slow starting, frequent jump-starts, odor and a swollen case as common battery warning signs.
