What do I do when my brakes lock up in the snow?
If you’ve ever had this happen to you, it’s one of the scariest moments when your brakes lock and your car begins to spin out of control. In the event this happens…what are you supposed to do?
Slamming on the brakes even harder won’t help because they’ve already locked up…and this isn’t the key to unlocking them. Not much can be done in this scenario, but some automotive sources suggest pumping the brakes, even if they are anti-lock brakes.
When you begin sliding out of control, the best solution is to slow the car down, but this is nearly impossible to do considering your brakes are locked up. Your best bet at this point is to turn the steering wheel in the same direction of your rear wheels.
Try your best not to overcorrect and force the vehicle to begin spinning the other way. Hopefully this will straighten your vehicle out and help to slow you down so that you are able to regain control and properly apply the brakes once again.

Whether you’re in need of one new tire that has worn down more quickly than the rest or the whole set has to come off and be replaced, the Glendale Nissan service department would be more than happy to lend a hand. Even if your tires are in good condition, we still would recommend having your tires rotated, battery checked out, and fluids topped off. Being stranded with a dead car battery isn’t on anyone’s Christmas list this year.
From all of us at Glendale Nissan, we want to remind you to drive safely out there and enjoy the holiday season!
