What are the Most Common Causes of Brake Failure
In Your Cars?
Lets consider these six common causes of brake
failure in cars nowadays

• Failure Of Brake Fluid Pressure  The braking
  system works with hydraulic air pressure. If
  there is any type of leak in the brake line,
  caliper or wheel cylinder, there could be
  inadequate pressure in the brake line for the
  brakes to work properly.
• Failure of Air Pressure  If the brake pedal
  goes all the way to the floor when it is low, it
  means the air pressure in the brake line could be
  the problem. If the pressure drops too low when
  driving, the vehicle should no longer be driven.
• Rusty Brake Line A rusty steel brake line is
  something that can be found in older vehicles,
  particularly if they have been bare to years of
  moisture as well as salt on the roads. Once the
  line rusts, brake fluid can begin to leak.
• Leak in ABS Modulator  Its possible for rust
  or dirt in a vehicles brake system to get into
  its ABS modulator. This will make it hard for its
  spring-loaded accumulator valve to close
  properly.
• Faulty Power Brake Booster When the power
  brake booster is damaged, the driver has to press
  the brake pedal to the floor for it to work.
• Water In Brake Fluid  When brake fluid reaches
  a high temperature, water will vaporize into
  steam and the braking motion will not be
  transmitted to the vehicles wheels.

Your vehicles brakes are rather that should be

in for a regular inspection, so if you have a
mechanic that you regularly take your car too,
you should ensure they are going over these
things. So, Be Proactive when it comes to
protecting your vehicle.

a brake service to inspect your braking system if
you start noticing any of the above issues while
