What is causing my ActiveHybrid 5 to shake when I brake?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your ActiveHybrid 5 as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.

How many brake pads does my ActiveHybrid 5 come with?

It’s common for vehicles to have four brake pads per axle — two on each front wheel and two on each back wheel. Since the front wheels tend to put in more work when bringing your ActiveHybrid 5 to a stop, the front brake pads usually wear out sooner than the rear ones.

What is the average lifespan of ActiveHybrid 5 brake pads?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your ActiveHybrid 5 can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.

Is it bad if my ActiveHybrid 5 is leaking brake fluid when off?

Your ActiveHybrid 5 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

Brake Pad Replacement for Your BMW ActiveHybrid 5

How often should you change your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 5’s brake pads? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. The majority of brake pads last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. If you often haul heavy loads or ride your brakes, your brake pads may wear out sooner. Your brake pad replacement interval also depends on what kind of brake pads you have on your ActiveHybrid 5 right now. Are you still driving with the same pads as when you bought the car? Not all brake pads are created equally. Some materials last longer. Thankfully, when you get BMW ActiveHybrid 5 brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty.

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Brake Repair

Your BMW ActiveHybrid 5 engine may be strong and reliable. One that's ready to get you to 200,000 miles and beyond. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you notice your brakes are squeaking or not working well, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For example, rotors start to warp and become damaged when completely worn brake pads exceed their lifespan, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 5. We offer a variety of brake services like brake pad/shoe replacement, brake rotor/drum machining, brake fluid exchange, and wheel cylinder and brake caliper installation.
