• If you hear a squealing or grinding noise when applying them, then it’s time.
• If the pedal “sinks” toward the floor when applying the brakes, it could be a sign of a leak in the vehicle’s brake system. Brake fluid looks similar to motor oil, but with a less greasy texture. If you notice a pool of fluid under your vehicle when it’s parked, it’s time to have it inspected.
• If your vehicle pulls on one side when braking, it could mean you have a caliper sticking or foreign matter in the fluid itself.
• A grinding noise typically means your vehicle’s brake pads have been completely worn down and two pieces of metal are now rubbing together. Ignoring this major sign can lead to damage to your calipers.
• Finally, a vibrating feeling when applying the pedal usually means warped rotors.
