What are the warning signs my brakes are going bad?

The most common warning signs of failing brakes are squealing or grinding noises, a soft or sinking pedal, vibration when braking, a longer stopping distance, pulling to one side, and a dashboard brake or ABS light. You might also notice a burning smell after hard stops or feel the pedal pulse under your foot. Each symptom points to a different problem, from worn pads and warped rotors to low fluid or a stuck caliper. Because brakes are a critical safety system, any of these signs deserves prompt attention rather than waiting. Catching problems early often saves your rotors and keeps repair costs low.
