Many brake parts have to work together to slow your Maserati down and bring it to a stop when you step on the brake pedal. If any components are worn, fail, or break, it severely impacts your safety behind the wheel. Should you notice any of the following symptoms of bad brakes, get a brake repair at your Maserati dealer as soon as possible to ensure your Ghibli, Levante, or Grecale is safe on the road.
A Brake Warning Lights Is On
When there is a brake system problem, the brake warning light or the Antilock Braking System (ABS) light will go on. If you notice that one of these warning lights is illuminated, schedule repairs at your dealer ASAP to avoid brake failure.
You Hear High-Pitched Squealing Sounds
When your brake pads are worn down too thin, the wear indicators built into the brake pads will make a high-pitched sound to warn you to replace the pads. Visually inspect the pads: if they are less than a quarter-inch thick, replace them. If you don’t, it will cause damage to other brake system components, costing you far more in repairs than replacing a set of brake pads.
You Hear Horrible Grinding Noises
You will hear horrible grinding noises if you don’t replace the brake pads in time after hearing the high-pitched warning sounds. The brake pads are now worn so thin that the bare metal is grinding against the steel rotor.
Your Brakes are Unresponsive and Fading
You need repairs when your brake pedal feels like it’s sinking into the floor, and your car takes longer to a stop. Unresponsive brakes are usually caused by low brake fluid. There could be a leak in the brake hose.
Your Car Pulls to the Side
Brake pads don’t wear down at the same rate. One side might get thinner faster than the other. Unevenly worn brake pads and dirty brake fluid could cause your car to pull to the left or right when you apply the brake.
Your Brake Pedal Is Vibrating or Pulsating
The rotors could be warped if you step on the brake under normal conditions and the pedal vibrates or pulsates. When the rotors get too hot or are worn, they start to warp and make uneven contact with the brake pads, causing the vibrations you feel through the brake pedal.
You Notice Puddles Under Your Car
Yellowish or brownish puddles on the ground under your car could be brake fluid. If your car is leaking brake fluid, get it checked out immediately. Brake fluid plays a crucial role; if there’s not enough, your brakes will fail.
If your car is showing any of the above symptoms, call Maserati Nashville now to schedule a brake system repair. The skilled Maserati technicians will perform a comprehensive brake system service and repair to ensure that your brakes work perfectly and your car is safe on the road.
