Brakes that slip are telling you it’s time to bring your vehicle for a brake inspection. Don’t procrastinate.

If you notice your vehicle is pulling to the left or right when you apply the brakes, it’s a sign of a problem. The brake line may be damaged, or the brake linking may be uneven or worn. Brakes that drag might be misaligned, or the brake fluid may need to be changed.

Sound is an important sign of brake problems. Brakes that are functioning correctly shouldn’t make any noise when you step on the brake pedal. Worn brakes may make a grinding noise. If you ignore this problem, it can result in damage to the brake rotors and drums.

The vehicle should stop easily when you apply the brakes. If you must pump the brakes to get your car to stop, the brake lines may have a leak, or there could be air in the brake system. You’ll likely notice that the brake pedal sinks to the floor when the vehicle is idling in traffic. Other symptoms of malfunctioning brakes include vibrations or banging when you apply the brakes, a spongy feeling brake pedal, or the brake warning light comes on.
