Worn-Down Brake Pads

When your brake pads wear down, you’ll notice they appear very thin and you hear a high-pitched squealing noise when you step on the brake pedal. Over time, the brake pads will wear down more and more until you eventually hear a grinding noise when braking. You should visit the dealer as soon as the squealing sound begins because once the brakes start making grinding noises, there’s some damage being done.

Vibration

Vibration while braking isn’t normal outside of specific situations. It should only occur when you have anti-lock brakes and they engage during a panic stop. Vibration during normal braking tells you that your rotors need some attention, as they’re most likely warped.

Less Responsive Brakes

Brakes that are becoming less responsive are definitely brakes that need to be checked out at the dealer. This problem is dangerous, especially as it worsens, but it’s often easy to fix. Your brakes becoming less responsive might just be caused by a brake fluid leak or, similarly, an air leak in one of the hoses in the braking system.

Pulling

Cars shouldn’t pull to one side when the brake pedal is used. If yours does, then it may indicate unevenly worn brake linings or contaminated brake fluid that needs to be drained and replaced.
