When your brakes are about to fail completely, they will give off warning signs that they are on their last legs. You need to be mindful of these signs because you do not want to end up in a situation where your brakes stop working entirely.

SCREECHING SOUNDS

This is an instantly recognizable symptom of failing brakes. Whenever you apply the brakes, there may be a loud, screeching noise. This gets annoying real quick, and it is a sign you need to take your car to the shop immediately.

VIBRATIONS

If the screeching noises are accompanied by vibrations being felt from the brake pad, then you have a serious problem on your hands. This is most often a symptom of having a warped rotor. The vibrations can also be coming from a different component, but regardless, you should get a checkup.

LOWERED RESPONSE TIME

After you have driven your vehicle for a while, you should have a good idea of how long it takes once you apply the brakes for your car to come to a complete stop. If that response time gets longer, then you need an inspection.
