Any of the following symptoms may be an indication of brake problems. If you notice one (or more), it's a good idea to get your brakes inspected as soon as possible:

  • Pulling to one side when braking
  • Soft brake pedal
  • Brake pedal pulsates
  • Brakes make scraping or grinding noise
  • More pressure than normal required to stop
  • Noise when brakes are applied
  • Brakes drag when foot is off the pedal

Brake noise is not always indicative of a problem but should be inspected as a precaution.
