Your Brakes are the #1 Priority of Our Roseburg Brake Center

Do you know the top symptoms of unhealthy brakes? Knowing them and understanding what they mean could make the difference between spotting an issue early on or having bigger brakes problems down the road.

Our expert technicians at Lithia Ford Lincoln of Roseburg warn drivers to keep an eye--and an ear--out for these big red flags:

• Check engine light comes on (could indicate brake problems)
• A sharp odor or burning smell coming from the wheel wells when you brake
• Grinding or squealing noise when braking
• Ineffective braking (needing to push the pedal down farther/taking longer to stop)
• Vibrations in the steering wheel when braking

These and more are all indications of worn or rusted breaks. In severe cases, brakes can be worn so thin that the rotors warp and grind, and the entire braking system will need to be replaced. And depending on a driver's environment, commute, and driving habits, brakes can wear much faster on some cars than on others. If you notice any of these red flags on your car--whether it's the new Ford or Lincoln you bought in the last year, or the used car you bought out of college--don't wait until a maintenance problem becomes a repair problem.
