1. Brake noises can mean serious problems.
2. Squeaking can be the result of dirty breaks, loose brake pads or worn break pads.
3. Rhythmic or pulsating noises can indicate that a rotor is warped. In extreme cases the brake pedal itself may pulsate when applied.
4. Constant brake noise like grinding can be extremely hazardous and may result in quickly escalating repair costs if not addressed immediately.
For you and your family’s safety, a professional should inspect any brake problems as soon as they are noticed.
