Why Are My Brakes Squeaking?

A Functioning Braking System: Important to Safety

Your vehicle's braking system is responsible for slowing and stopping your car when you need it to. Accordingly, a properly functioning braking system is crucial for your safety and the safety of other drivers on the road.

The braking system within your INFINITI is comprised of several components, including brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid.

As your car’s braking system endures heavy wear and tear, regular maintenance of these components is essential in ensuring the braking system's ready to perform at a high level.

What Brake Squeaking Means…

Brakes are designed to withstand heavy friction, as this is what allows your vehicle to slow and stop.

While this is the case, a high-pitched, persistent squeaking sound when you apply pressure to the brakes usually means something has worn out. When this time comes, you’ll want to have your vehicle’s brakes checked.

To pinpoint what’s going on with your vehicle’s braking system, an inspection is needed. Squeaking brakes could indicate several issues, including worn-out brake pads, damaged rotors, or lack of lubrication.

It's essential to have the issue diagnosed and resolved promptly to prevent further damage to your vehicle's braking system.
