1. Pull over to the side of the road as soon as safely possible. Turn on your hazard lights and set the parking brake.
2. Call for roadside assistance or a tow truck. You'll need to have your car towed to a mechanic for repairs.
3. Explain the problem to the mechanic. Be sure to tell them how often the brakes have failed, and under what circumstances.
4. Have the mechanic inspect the brakes. They'll check the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and master cylinder for damage or wear.
5. Have the mechanic repair the brakes. The repairs may include replacing the brake pads, rotors, calipers, or master cylinder.
Once the brakes have been repaired, test them out yourself to make sure they're working properly. Make sure to test them in different conditions, such as in dry weather, wet weather, and on hills.
If you're still experiencing problems with the brakes, take it back to the mechanic. They may need to do further repairs or adjustments.
It's important to always take brake problems seriously. Brakes are one of the most important safety features on your car. If they're not working properly, you're putting yourself and others at risk.
Here are some additional tips to help keep your brakes in good condition:
* Inspect your brakes regularly. Look for cracks or chips in the brake pads or rotors. Also, check the brake fluid level and make sure it's not too low.
* Get your brakes serviced every 30,000 miles. This will help keep them in good condition and prevent problems from developing.
* Drive safely and avoid hard braking. This will help to extend the life of your brakes.
