Question 7988
If you notice that the brake pedal is not working effectively when you press it, this could be caused by...
- the brake booster crystallizing.
- a lack of brake fluid.
- the brake hoses seizing up.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: a lack of brake fluid.
Brake fluid transmits the pressure you apply to the pedal to the wheels. When there is not enough fluid, for example because of a leak, the pedal travels farther than usual when you press it, and the car brakes less effectively than normal.
