In order to best enjoy your INFINITI car’s premium performance and safety, it is vital to keep up with the car’s recommended maintenance schedule. This includes INFINITI brake service. Being attentive to the early signs of brake wear is essential for maintaining your vehicle’s safety and performance on the road. If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to schedule INFINITI brake service with the experts at Southwest INFINITI.
Squealing and Grinding Noises
Your brakes are designed to communicate with you when they need attention. The first sign that you may notice is a high-pitched squealing or screeching sound when you apply the brake pedal. This is usually caused by a small metal wear indicator on your brake pads making contact with the brake rotor. On the other hand, a louder, harsher grinding noise is a more urgent warning. This sound typically means that the brake pads are completely worn down, and metal is grinding against metal.
Illuminated Dashboard Warning Lights
Your INFINITI car provides other signals that its brakes need service. A red brake warning light on the car’s dashboard is a message from the diagnostic system that an issue has been detected. If this is the case, schedule a service appointment with the team at Southwest INFINITI promptly.
Changes in Pedal Feel and Response
Finally, pay close attention to how your brake pedal feels under your foot. If you feel a vibration or pulsation through the pedal or steering wheel when you hit the brake, it’s often a sign of warped brake rotors. A pedal that feels soft or mushy can indicate a problem with the brake fluid or hydraulic system. If the pedal feels the same but you’re still noticing longer stopping distances, it’s time for service.
