When the brakes in your vehicle are experiencing trouble, whether they are old or new, it is important you identify these signs and take action. These are a few things to be concerned about with your brakes.
The brake pedal should always be firm; if you feel it being spongy or soft, it could indicate trouble.
The vehicle should not be vibrating when you have to stop.
If you press the brakes at a higher rate of speed, there should be no pulling to one side of the road.
The brake indicator warning light on the dash should not be lit.
There should be no signs of leaking brake fluid in or around the brake hardware or wheels.
There shouldn't be any grinding or squealing when you press the brakes while driving.
