Your car's brakes are really important to keep you safe while you drive. If something goes wrong with them, it can cause really bad accidents. Here are three warning signs that the brakes aren't working correctly:
1. Squealing or Grinding: If you press the brakes and you hear a noise that sounds like something is grinding or squeaking, it might mean that your brake pads are worn out. When this happens, the metal parts of your brakes could be rubbing together, and that can cause your brakes to stop working.
2. Pedal Vibrating: Another warning sign of brake trouble is if the brake pedal shakes or moves up and down when you press it. This can mean that your brake rotors are bent or warped, which can reduce your brakes' stopping power and make it harder for you to control the car.
3. Slow Response: If you press the brakes and it takes a while for them to respond, there might be a problem with the brake hydraulic system. The brakes should start working right away when you press them.
If you notice any of these warning signs, it's important to have a mechanic check out your brakes right away. That way, you can make sure your car is safe and avoid any accidents.
