Your brakes give you the ability to control your speed and slow down and stop at any time. As mechanical components, your brakes are subject to wear and damage. Damage to your braking system can put you, your car, and other drivers and pedestrians at risk. If your Ford is showing signs of a brake problem, we can fix the problem for you at your Ford dealer. These are signs that you need a brake repair.

Spongy Brakes

You should feel resistance when you step on the brakes, and the more force you exert, the more resistance you should feel. If your pedal feels spongy, your pedal provides almost no resistance. This might not seem like a problem, but it’s a sign that you have low pressure in the braking system. Your brake system needs high pressure to work correctly.

When you apply the brakes, fluid is forced into the brake hoses from the brake fluid reservoir. This pressure creates the hydraulic force necessary for the calipers to close on the wheel rotors and bring your car to a stop. If the system has low pressure, the calipers may not close completely, and your car will have difficulty stopping. Spongy brakes are usually the result of low brake fluid, which a fluid leak could cause.
