Brake Pad and Rotor Wear: Continuous driving, especially on rough roads, causes the brake pads and rotors to wear out faster. Pakistan’s roads, especially with frequent potholes, can lead to rotor warping, affecting braking performance.
Brake Fluid Leaks: The brake system in the Alto Lapin may also suffer from fluid leaks, especially in hot climates, leading to reduced braking force o r a spongy brake pedal feel.
Impact on Driving:
Worn-out brake pads o r warped rotors can lead to longer stopping distances, brake noise, o r vibrations when applying the brakes, compromising safety.
Brake fluid loss o r leakage can cause the brake pedal to feel spongy o r unresponsive, which can be dangerous in emergencies.
Solutions:
Regularly inspect brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid levels for signs of wear and replace them when necessary.
Consider upgrading to high-performance brake pads if you frequently drive on rough o r mountainous roads.
Have the brake lines and fluid system checked for any leaks, especially during the hot summer months, to ensure optimal braking performance.
