Understanding the signs that your brake pedal needs attention is key to repairing it at the right time before it's too late. Fortunately, there are several ways to determine if the part requires attention with the help of a professional technician. You may start to notice a lot of shaking and vibrating that develops the more you apply pressure on the brakes. This can also be accompanied by a burning smell that becomes stronger over time.
Another sign that indicates your brake pedal needs attention is if your car swerves to the right as you try to operate it. This can cause you to change lanes and even have contact with another car.
You also need to come to our service center here at Maple Hill Volvo Cars in Kalamazoo, MI to have one of our service techs work on the part if the pedal starts to feel like a sponge and no longer feels firm when you apply pressure.
