Are Your Brakes Trying to Tell You Something?

If
your brakes are trying to tell you something, you should pay attention.
A properly operating brake system helps ensure safe vehicle control and
operation and it should be checked immediately if you suspect any
problems.
While
an annual brake inspection is a good way to ensure brake safety,
motorists should not ignore signs that their brakes need attention.
Knowing the key warning signs that your brakes may need maintenance will
go a long way toward keeping you and others safe on the road.
Motorists should look for the following warning signs that their brakes need to be inspected:
- Noise: screeching, grinding or clicking noises when applying the brakes.
- Pulling: vehicle pulls to one side while braking.
- Low Pedal: brake pedal nearly touches the floor before engaging.
- Hard Pedal: must apply extreme pressure to the pedal before brakes engage.
- Grabbing: brakes grab at the slightest touch to the pedal.
- Vibration: brake pedal vibrates or pulses, even under normal braking conditions.
- Light: brake light is illuminated on your vehicle’s dashboard.
Because
brakes are a normal wear item on any vehicle, they will eventually need
to be replaced. Factors that can affect brake wear include driving
habits, operating conditions, vehicle type and the quality of the brake
lining material. Be sure to avoid letting brakes get to the
‘metal-to-metal’ point as that can mean expensive rotor or drum
replacement.

Basic Auto Care Many Drivers Miss
Fluids
and lubricants rank among the most neglected items when it comes to
basic auto care. Community car care events held throughout the country
found that the top-three fluids most likely to be low or contaminated
are windshield washer fluid in 26 percent of inspected vehicles,
followed by engine oil at 23 percent and coolant at 19 percent.
Windshield
washer fluid keeps dirt and debris from collecting on a vehicle’s
windshield, allowing the driver full visibility and making it an
essential safety item. Windshield washer fluid should be checked monthly
and drivers should use a fluid that is specially formulated for their
climate.
