The most common cause is failure of the Master Cylinder. Leaking wheel cylinders & calibers is another cause. Of course worn brake pads or shoes can cause defective brakes. Lastly would be a broken brake line hose.
Some of the dangers of brake failure are the following: vehicle could pull to one side and this would cause collision, also there is danger of passenger death and car damage.
The tire could be rubbing if you have oversize tires, or aftermarket rims. The only other cause would be a failure of a part in the brake system.
i dont think they would cause kidney failure, but it would cause lots of other problems.
Check to see if your emergency brake is on.
They would die of kidney failure.
The failure to step on the brake pedal or if manual the failure to step on the clutch The transmission or gearbox is not working properly
Most air brake systems are fail-safe. This means that if there is a failure in the pressure system the brakes will lock on. You need gauges to show that you have sufficient pressure to proceed and to know your brakes are not dragging as this would cause them to overheat.
1st check your brake fluid level in your master cylinder. Low fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir will cause both lights to come on. If it was really low you should fill it up and then bleed the brake system. If fluid level is ok, then a failure of a component in your anti lock brake system has occured.
One reason: Leaking master cylinder resulting in brake fluid leaking onto the braking mechanism, causing a failure to grab and then excessive grabbing as the pressure on the brake pedal increases
brake light switch would be most common cause
I would say -1. leaks in a seal at brake cylinder. 2. Running low on brake fluid. (Did you check YOURS this week ? )
