When to Seek Brake Repair at Our Ford Dealer in St. Louis, MO

While other parts of your vehicle may cause serious damage if not attended to, failing to service your brakes at the first sign of distress could put you and your passenger's safety at risk; not to mention the other cars on the road. Vehicles in need of brake repair will show signs of trouble that should prompt you to come in to our Ford dealer in St. Louis, MO sooner rather than later. The Brake Light Comes On Perhaps the simplest and easiest way to know your brakes need attention is when the brake warning light becomes illuminated on your dashboard. These sensors are designed to detect if the brakes are in need of inspection. Installed for safety, this red or yellow light is easily spotted once triggered, letting you know it's time to have us check the brake system. We will measure your brake pads and test the fluid to find the source of the problem. Strange Noises While Braking Your brakes should always respond smoothly and immediately to your instruction. If you start to hear a metallic squeaking or grinding sound while using the brake pedal, your brake pads may have begun to wear out. Replacing these pads is much simpler and less expensive than allowing the problem to persist. Prolonged damage could cause rotor trouble, which is a much more extensive repair. Vibrating Steering Wheel If your steering wheel begins to behave in undesirable ways, such as pulling to one side or vibrating when you brake, your car may feel like it's wobbling, which can be unsettling. These problems point toward the rotor being uneven and needing maintenance. This issue will not resolve on its own and will get worse with each additional mile you drive before having it serviced. Delayed Braking Response Feeling the need to push harder when you brake to receive the appropriate response, or if applying the brakes feels different than usual, this typically indicates that brake fluid could be leaking from the system. A brake fluid leak often stems from moisture in the system or trouble in the master cylinder, both of which put you and your vehicle at risk. Low brake fluid can also be a symptom of brake pads that are worn and need replacing. Burning Odor Brakes that are being used over and over again in a short period of time can overheat from rapid use. If this happens, pull over and turn your car off immediately. Allow the brakes to cool down and then let our mechanics take a look. Any issue pertaining to your brakes certainly can't be put off until your next routine service. If you have concerns or questions about the current condition of your brakes, call or bring your vehicle into Schicker Ford of St. Louis today for an inspection. Our award-winning service will have you safely back on the road as soon as possible.
