The braking system is vital for governing your speed. It's composed of numerous components from the brake master cylinder that controls the braking system, to the brake pads that generate friction to stop your wheels. Each of these components is subject to wear, and a problem with any component will affect the entire system. As your Ford dealer, we can fix these problems for you. We've listed some of the signs you may need a brake repair. Worn Brake Pads The brake pads generate the friction that stops your wheels. The pads have a special friction-generating surface that produces the necessary friction. A pad's surface gradually wears down each time you apply the brakes. When a pad needs replacement, you'll begin hearing strange sounds. more The first indication your pads are going bad is a screeching each time you brake. This screeching is caused by a metal spike in the pads scraping against the rotor. When you hear this sound, it's time to change the pads. If the pads aren't changed, the screeching will gradually become a grinding noise. The grinding is caused by the metal rotors damaging the wheel rotors. The pads need to be changed ASAP to prevent any further damage. Brake Light Your Ford has two brake lights, a brake light, and an ABS light. These lights will illuminate when your engine starts and then go out. If either of these lights stays on, you have a brake problem. The ABS light is connected to the ABS. This system prevents your car's wheel from locking if you start to spin. If this light illuminates, you need to get the ABS checked ASAP. The regular brake light will come on for several reasons, including a handbrake that's still engaged or a lack of brake fluid. The light doesn't, unfortunately, show the exact cause of the problem. We advise contacting us right away. Our expert Ford technicians will diagnose the problem and swiftly repair it for you. Soft Brake Pedal A soft pedal is caused by a blockage in the brake hoses or a lack of brake fluid. This problem is characterized by a pedal that provides little resistance. You should feel resistance when you step on the brakes, and resistance should increase as you increase the pressure. A soft pedal might sound easier to depress, but it's dangerous. The lack of pressure in the system means your brakes will take longer to engage, and your stopping distance will also increase. This combination of problems could result in a possible accident. We'll investigate the cause of the problem, and repair it. If you have any problem with your brakes, call our service department right away at Crown Ford Inc.
