Warning Signs
When driving, if you notice your brakes and/or vehicle behaving in any of the following ways, get to us quickly and allow us to help you stay safe.
• Dashboard light turns on — If the Anti-lock Braking System light comes on, your brake fluid is probably low. It may signal a leak in the line, and you need to have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible.
• When a grinding noise or a squeal accompanies pushing the brake pedal, the solution may be as simple as an adjustment or it may mean the pads are worn and should be replaced.
• If your vehicle pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, an inspection is called for to determine whether an adjustment will suffice, brake fluid is leaking, or some of the parts need to be replaced.
• Vibration and shaking of the steering wheel, brake pedal or entire vehicle when the brakes are applied signals that the rotors may be warped and need to be replaced.
• If the brake pedal is difficult to press or feels spongy, air has probably gotten into the lines or you have low fluid.All these symptoms signal situations that you should get to our clinic as soon as possible to be diagnosed and solved. A healthy Brake System in your Edmonton vehicle is necessary to keep your family safe.
