​Listen to your car's brakes carefully. Any sound they may make is an indication of a problem. Brakes shouldn't make noise. Squeaky brakes may be a sign of friction coming from the brake lining. Left unchecked, this can damage the brake drums, pads, lining and rotors. It's essential to get this situation fixed before it becomes a big problem.
A grinding sound may be a sign of worn brake pads. Driving with worn brake pads will eventually damage the rotors and drums. If your car pulls to one side when you apply the brakes, it's a sign that the brake line may be damaged. Alternatively, it can mean the brake linings are worn or uneven. Brakes that drag may be out of adjustment, or the brake fluid could be contaminated.
If you must pump the brakes to stop your car, there may be air in the brake system or a leak in the brake lines. When this happens, you may notice the brake pedal sinking to the floor when your vehicle is idling in traffic.
Other issues to look out for are a brake pedal that feels spongy, vibrations or banging when you apply the brakes, and a brake warning light that stays on.
