Pay Attention to These Signs Your Cadillac's Brakes Are Going Bad
So how do you know when it's time for brake service? Here are five telltale signs to watch out for:
- Squealing or grinding noises when braking. If you hear a high-pitched squealing sound or a low grinding noise when you apply the brakes, it's likely time for new brake pads and/or rotors.
- Vibrating or pulsing brake pedal. A brake pedal that vibrates or pulses under normal braking pressure can indicate warped rotors that need replacement.
- Vehicle pulling to one side when braking. If your Cadillac pulls to the left or right when you apply the brakes, it could point to a stuck caliper or uneven brake pad wear, requiring adjustment or replacement.
- Increased stopping distance. If you notice it takes longer than normal to come to a complete stop, worn brake pads or low brake fluid could be to blame.
- Brake warning light illuminated. An illuminated brake warning light on your dashboard is your Cadillac telling you to have the brakes inspected as soon as possible.
