Know the Warning Signs of a Bad Brake Pedal

November 11th, 2020 by

Acura of Johnston believes that special attention should always be given to your car's braking system. That includes the brake pedal. Drivers in Johnston should be able to spot issues that could indicate a new brake pedal is needed.

Brake pedals should offer moderate resistance when pressed. If your brake pedal is going to the floor with no resistance, there is a problem. The pedal could be failing, or the problem could be as simple as a lack of brake fluid. Loose brake pedals that wobble back and forth are also subject to fail without much other warning.

A sound of air or a "whoosh" type noise when you press the brakes is also cause for concern. The brake lines in your car which are activated by the pedal, or the pedal itself, may need attention.
