Brakes are a common problem across many different makes and models. Although it may seem sometimes like there are two things that could be wrong with the brakes, there are other things that can cause brake problems. The first thing you need to do if you are worried about your brakes is to check the brake fluid levels. This is different between cars, so you will want to check a repair manual appropriate for your vehicle. This means that if you have a Chevrolet Malibu you will want a Chevrolet Malibu repair manual . If you are one of those people there who have had previous cars and still have their old manuals, one of these, such as the using a GMC manual , may be a little helpful for the Chevrolet Malibu, but it can not replace having the right repair manual.

After you have checked the brake fluid and possibly topped it off it should be working well again. If it isn’t there may be a more serious problem. Before moving on, drain all of the brake fluid and refill it. This is the safest next step because if there are contaminants in there it can cause all kinds of problems.

If there is still trouble, check the brake power boost unit first, followed by the brake line. It is often hard for these to become messed up, but when they do, they affect the car in terrible ways. At this point if there are still problems, take it into a real shop and be prepared to pay some extra money.
