Brake fade is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated application of the brakes, especially in high load or high speed conditions. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disk brakes. Brake fade occurs most often during high performance driving or when going down a long, steep hill.

Is brake fade a temporary condition?
Yes, brake fade is typically a temporary condition that occurs when brakes overheat due to prolonged use, leading to reduced friction and effectiveness. This can happen during heavy braking, such as when driving downhill or during aggressive driving. Once the brakes cool down, their performance generally returns to normal. However, if brake fade is experienced frequently, it may indicate a need for maintenance or upgrades to the braking system.
When did Fade from Grace happen?

When can occur water brake fade?
Water brake fade can occur when excessive moisture, such as rain or standing water, comes into contact with brake components, particularly in vehicles with drum brakes. This moisture can lead to a reduction in friction between the brake pads and rotors, diminishing braking effectiveness. Additionally, if the water causes brake components to overheat, it can further exacerbate the loss of braking power. Proper brake maintenance and inspection are essential to mitigate the risks associated with water brake fade.
What could cause 'brake fade' in a Dodge Caravan?
Brake fade is caused by the brake pads overheating. If this happens all the time and not just during hard braking, then the pads are glazed over. You can lightly sand them to remove the glazing, or just replace the pads. Now if you are referring to brake pedal being soft, then you have air in the system. Bleed your brakes.
