Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey! Glad to hear you found my previous experience useful. In terms of cost, it set me back about 480€ to get those worn brakes sorted out. Not a small sum, but totally worth it considering your safety is on the line, right? As for other issues, let me tell ya, since that trip to the mechanic, it has been smooth sailing. Knock on wood! The brake warning light disappeared and no related issues have surfaced. Mind you, it's always a good idea to keep an eye out for anything unusual. You know, better safe than sorry. Stay safe on those roads!
Oh, that really puts me at ease, thank you! I wasn't expecting the cost to be quite so high, but you're absolutely correct—safety first, and I'd rather have the brakes sorted out sooner than regret it later. Appreciate your sharing your experience gave me a solid heads up. I'll book an appointment with a mechanic straight away and keep an eye out for other potential problems. Safe driving to you too! Cheers!
Hey there! No need to sweat it. I had a similar issue with my 2018 Kia Sorento a couple of months back. That pesky little warning light was my car's way of telling me I had worn brake pads. It wasn't a pretty sight when we got them off—the friction material was almost completely worn away. If left unattended, it would have turned into a serious issue, potentially damaging the rotors or even leading to a brake failure. So, my advice to you is to get your car to a mechanic ASAP, especially as you've driven quite a bit. The brake pad replacement is a routine procedure and took only a few hours at the shop. I hope this helps, and of course, every car can behave a bit differently, so it's best to get it checked out as soon as you can. Safe driving!
