Why does my Cutlass Ciera shake when I brake?

Your Cutlass Ciera could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.

How many brake pads does my Cutlass Ciera come with?

On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your Cutlass Ciera, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.

What is the average lifespan of Cutlass Ciera brake pads?

Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.

Should my Cutlass Ciera be leaking brake fluid when the car is off?

Your Cutlass Ciera 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.

Replacing Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera’s Brake Pads

How often should you change your 1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera’s brake pads? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. Brake pads often last 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving mostly on highways and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan. Your brake pad replacement timeline also depends on the type of brake pads you have installed on your Cutlass Ciera. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Luckily, Firestone Complete Auto Care offers Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera brake pad replacements, coupons on brake services, and a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty on brake pads.

Your Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera engine may be strong and reliable. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can't stop it, then it's scrap metal.
