What to do if your brakes fail

posted on 2/9/2017 4:35:40 AM

Q: What should I do if my brakes fail? – Veronica

A: Dear Veronica,

With modern brake designs, total brake failure is extremely rare, but unnerving. Check your rear view mirror, gradually decelerate, downshift if you vehicle has a manual transmission, and when safe, steer to the side of the road. When stopped, turn off your engine and apply the parking brake. Never use your parking brake as an emergency brake. The sudden application of the parking brake can cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
