This could be a sign of worn front brakes, or a wheel cylinder leakage onto the brake pads. For safety reasons, consult your workshop immediately.

  My car�tends to 'pull' to the right when coming to a stop. What is wrong?
   
 
  My car has a tendency to drift to the left. On my last visit to the workshop, a wheel alignment check was done. However, nothing has changed. What is the problem?
   
 
  My new car is equipped with cruise control. I read somewhere that using this function improves fuel economy. How is it so?
   
 
  My car, which has covered 120,000km, has started vibrating whenever I accelerate hard from a stationary position.
   
 
  My car's tailpipe emits white smoke occasionally. Is this something I should worry about?
   
 
  Lately, it has become difficult for me to steer my car. What could be the problem?
   
 
  I drive a four-wheel- drive vehicle and, of late, I hear clicking noises whenever I put it into Drive mode and accelerate. What could be causing the noise?
   
 
  I drive a five-speed manual transmission car. Of late, I have trouble engaging gears - even when I fully depress the clutch pedal. What is the problem?
   
 
  Of late, whenever I brake while travelling at high speeds, I feel some vibration on the steering wheel as well as the car in general.
   
 
  My car's brake pedal has suddenly become very stiff when I step on it. Is the brake booster faulty?
