Noise or changes when braking
Organize observations about pedal feel, sounds, vibration and warning messages, then open the relevant guide.
Prepare a useful summary for your technician
Collect your observations without guessing which part is responsible. The summary stays on this page and is not sent automatically.
Before reading: record these observations
- Has pedal feel changed, or is there only a sound?
- Does the vibration occur only when braking?
- What does the warning message say, or which symbol appears?
This is a topic library, not a diagnosis. Your symptom description, its conditions and your vehicle manual help you choose the right guide.

Warning lights
Weak uphill performance: likely areas to investigate
Climbing increases load and may reveal weakness absent on level roads.
Suspension and tires
