Brakes are one of the most important parts in a car! If the brakes fail, the car may be in danger at any time. According to the information released by the Malaysian Land Transport Department (JPJ), if there are 8 types of brake conditions, you should immediately go to the garage for inspection.
1. Rattle
If your car makes an ear-splitting sound when you apply the brakes, it means that the brake system is malfunctioning.
2. Dragging
If your car drags sideways when you apply the brakes, you should also pay special attention to it.
3. Brake pedal is too low
When the brake pedal touches the floor when you apply the brakes, your brake system needs to be repaired.
4. Brake pedal is too hard
When the brake pedal is too hard and you need to apply too much force when applying the brakes, it is also a sign of a brake system failure.
5. The brake pedal is too sensitive
When you apply the brakes gently, but the car brakes hard, you must check the brake system of the car. Or maybe it takes a long distance to stop when you apply the brakes.
6. The car shakes when braking
If the car keeps shaking when you apply the brakes, your brake system may be faulty.
7. Bad smell
If you smell a burning odor after braking, then you need to get your brakes checked.
8. Dashboard brakes are always on
There is a brake warning light on the dashboard of your car. If this light is on after you put down the handbrake, the brake system may be malfunctioning.
