So I was driving back from work earlier today and in 4th gear my car starts to this squeaking/whinning sound when I used the brakes. I though it was nothing at first until I down shifted and slowed it and it kepted doing it. When I got home I checked it out but found nothing and so I told my dad to sit in the car with me when I drove it again, but only this time it didn't make any sound when I used the brakes. It drove like normal. When I drove it the 2nd time with my dad in it the car was cooled down also for about 15-20min. I asked my friend n he said it sounds like my brake pads need to be changed. What do you guys think it is from experience? Do my brake pads and rotors need to be changed??? I have about 27,100 miles on the car and bought it from a dealership at 24,800 about 7 months ago. No mods have been done expect for a exhaust system and sway bar. Help me Please...

Just a hint for future reference: put a subject in the subject line. Something like Upper plenum leaking not I got a question. Hell everyone has a question. Thanks.

 

+1 to that, threads can be closed because of wrong or misleading titles. Thats why our search function sucks. Anyway, take your wheels off and inspect the brakes.

 

Take the 10 needed minutes to look at the brake pads. Its that easy
