When you brake, your car pulls to the left, and the brake pedal feels spongy. What should you do?
Correct answer: Have the brakes checked and repaired now, before the pedal goes down to the floor.
Why
Brakes that pull or feel soft can fail without more warning. Your owner's manual gives the maintenance checks for the brake system. Rhode Island law also requires a parking brake that can hold the car, so keep both systems in good repair.
