Signs You Need a Brake Repair Service at Your Lincoln Dealer
Is your Lincoln vehicle exhibiting signs of brake wear or decreased performance? If you are in Plymouth, IN, it may be time to consider a brake repair service at your Lincoln dealer. Squeaky brakes, reduced braking efficiency, or vibrations during braking are indicators that your Lincoln’s brake system may need attention.
Brake System Light
The brake system light, identified as either BRAKE or an exclamation point in a circle, is a warning that something is wrong with your braking system. The light automatically illuminates when your engine starts and then switches off. If the light remains on, it could mean that your emergency brake is still engaged. The first step is to check the emergency brake and disengage it if necessary.
If the warning light remains on, this signals a problem in the braking system that needs to be investigated. Our Lincoln-trained technicians will check your braking system components for signs of trouble. The warning light can represent different issues, from a lack of brake fluid to a jammed caliper. We’ll find the cause of the problem and repair it.
Soft Brake Pedal
The fluid in your braking system operates under high pressure. This pressure allows the system to generate the necessary force to bring your wheels to an almost instant stop. When you step on the brake pedal, you can feel the pressure in the system as the pedal generates resistance. This resistance should increase as you exert more pressure.
If you don’t feel much resistance from the pedal, this means a lack of pressure in the system. The lack of pressure in the system can be caused by a brake fluid leak or an air bubble in the system. Although the braking system is airtight, air can eventually get into the system. Air will form a bubble and block the flow of fluid through the system. We will fix this problem by bleeding the brakes to remove the air.
Worn Brake Pads
The brake pads fit into the calipers, and the calipers clamp against the rotors when you brake. The pads have a special material covering that generates friction against the smooth rotors, and the friction stops your wheels. The material will slowly wear down, and as this happens, your brakes will take longer to engage.
When a pad needs replacement, you’ll hear a screeching noise each time you brake. This sound is caused by a metal spike inside the pad that becomes visible in the worn material. When you hear a screeching noise, it’s time to visit us for new pads. We can quickly replace the pads, and the annoying noise will disappear.
