Are you one that likes to push the limits around Chesterbrook in your new Lexus ES? Or are you more of a causal driver that likes to cruise around Downingtown or beyond? Whatever the case may be, you're going to need your brakes to work well. If the brakes in your vehicle aren't in good shape, you'll start to see one of the following warning signs.
- Squealing or Shrieking Sound - If you hear a high-pitch squeal when you apply the brakes, it's time for a brake pad replacement. Your car's brake pads are designed to keep the caliper and rotor from rubbing together. Over time, this pad will wear and will need to be replaced. If your car is squealing, your brake pads are gone or going.
- Shuddering or Shaking Feeling - Does your entire car shake when you slow down or stop? If so, most likely, your brake rotors are warped or worn. These will need to be replaced to allow for a better connection between your brake line and the wheels of your vehicle.
- Spongy or Soft Brake Pedal - When you push on the brake pedal, does it go all the way to the floor? This is a sign that something is wrong with your brake fluid line. Either you need new brake fluid, the brake fluid is leaking, or the brake line is disconnected somehow.
If you notice any of these warning signs, don't hesitate to contact our Lexus of Chester Springs dealership. We offer Lexus car service for every West Chester, Valley Forge, or beyond driver and would love to get you safely back on the road to King of Prussia today!
