This is the most common scenario for overheating brakes. The stop and go of this type of traffic can put a lot of stress on a vehicle’s brake system. Stoplights, car wrecks, pedestrian traffic, and commercial vehicles provide plenty of daily traffic jams. Even outside of normal working hours and the dreaded 5 o’clock traffic, driving around a big city can be a chore. Living in a big city can come with many challenges, the most notable being terrible traffic. Constant heavy use or non-stop slight pressure can cause the brakes to overheat from excessive friction. Brakes use friction applied from the brake pads to the brake rotors to slow a vehicle down. It is not uncommon for brakes to overheat when constant intense stress is being applied to them. A worn-out brake pad can make this sound as it damages your rotor. The third most common symptom is a loud squealing sound. Does your brake pedal feel “soft”? If your brake pedal provides less resistance, your brake pads could be worn down, or your brake fluid needs replacement.If you see smoke you should immediately pull over. Sometimes there is actual smoke coming from the brake pads.
The most common sign of overheating brakes is a burning smell.
