If something is wrong with your car, you will probably know about it pretty early. This is especially true with your brakes. If you have been noticing any of these issues, it’s time to schedule MAZDA service to have your braking system examined:
Vibrations
Does the steering wheel shake when you step on the brakes? Or maybe the brake pedal seems to sort of pulsating? This could be related to a bad rotor, which may have to be resurfaced or completely replaced.
Strange Sounds
If you hear a squeaking sound when braking, this isn’t anything to get alarmed about – yet. This is a built-in warning letting you know that a brake pad is wearing out over time. A grinding noise, however, is cause for alarm, as this indicates that a pad has worn through and the caliper and rotor are now rubbing against each other.
Soft Pedal
If your brake pedal feels soft and goes down too easily, this is concerning. And if you have to push it to the floor in order to get the brakes engaged, this is a serious issue.
Burning Smell
A burning odor is never good when driving, and if you smell this when braking, the brakes are probably overheating. Worn-out discs are often the culprit in this scenario.
Don’t Put Off Your Brake Service
Because your brakes are so vital for keeping you and your passengers safe, you need to address any problems as soon as you notice them. To have your brakes examined by experts, make an appointment with the service center at Peruzzi Mazda in Fairless Hills. We’ll figure out what’s wrong and get your system back to its pristine condition.
