CAN I DRIVE WITH A BAD BRAKE CALIPER?

You should not drive with bad brake calipers. If you notice any of the signs listed above, you may have a serious problem that requires immediate brake repair. Below are some potential consequences of driving with bad calipers.

UNUSUAL BRAKE PEDAL BEHAVIOUR

When a caliper sticks, the brake pedal may not come all the way back up after it is released. Drivers usually grow accustomed to applying brake pedal pressure in a certain way, and when a brake pedal does not respond in the way it is expected to, mistakes can occur.

INFERIOR STOPPING ABILITY

Bad calipers can cause performance problems to worsen when an emergency stop is performed. If the brakes need to be “slammed” in order to avoid a collision, the vehicle may pull sharply to one side and possibly cause a wreck. The vehicle will also take longer to come to a stop.

IMPAIRED PERFORMANCE

In many cases, only one caliper will go bad at a time. This will cause one wheel to be affected more than the others and lead to your vehicle pulling to the left or right as it is driven. This condition makes it much more difficult to control the vehicle.

DECREASED EFFICIENCY

When you’re driving with the brakes even slightly engaged, your vehicle needs to work harder to increase and maintain speed. The lack of acceleration is one of the most common signs of sticking calipers. This means your vehicle will have to use more fuel than it used to, so expect to fill your tank more frequently.

BRAKE PAD WEAR

When calipers stick, the brake pads are in constant use and wear down faster. Worn brake pads prevent proper braking pressure in emergencies. Additionally, when the pad wears away, backing plates begin to make contact with rotors. If that metal-on-metal contact persists, the rotors may need to be replaced as well.

OVERHEATED BEARINGS

Brake pads are in constant contact with wheel rotors when calipers push down all the time. This contact causes friction, and friction causes excess heat. Extreme heat is one of the most significant factors that contribute to wheel bearing damage.

TRANSMISSION WEAR

Sticking calipers place stress on a transmission system because they affect the speed of a vehicle relative to its wheels. A transmission system is one of the most expensive and important components of a vehicle. Anything that causes excess wear on the transmission, including sticking calipers, should be considered a serious problem.

UNPLEASANT SOUNDS AND SMELLS

If a vehicle with sticking calipers is driven consistently, unpleasant sounds and smells will begin to emerge. Over time, constant braking will produce a grinding or howling sound. Additionally, excess heat can cause braking components to burn, producing a foul odor.
