Detroit (U.R) Here are some
common danger signs to watch
for that will tip you when your
brakes might be going bad:
Noise When brakes scream
for attention, it's best to find
the cause. May or may not be
serious.
Low pedal A brake pedal
that goes more than a couple of
inches from the floorboard gen
erally needs adjusting.
Fade A brake pedal that
sinks slowly toward the floor
as you apply pressure is com
pletely untrustworthy. It may
unexpectedly leave you without
brakes while driving. It should
be checked at once.
Grab A brake that grabs or
jerks when you step on the ped
al may throw your car out of
control. Should be fixed at once.
Slow stopping If your brake
seems to be stopping you slowly,
and giving you too much coast,
look out for trouble.
