Not many people would immediately think about it being a problem, but I do like that you bring up the vibrating issue. After all, if your brakes are vibrating when you push down on them, then you might need to get them looked at. After all, it could be a sign that the brake pads are wearing thin and need to be replaced.

I’ve noticed a weird vibrating when I start to slow down in my car. You mentioned that this is a sign I should have my brakes checked immediately to see what’s going on. I’ll definitely take my car in to get looked at soon since I’ve heard brake problems can get more expensive the longer you wait.

Thanks for your comment about how you should get your brakes checked if they don’t stop in somewhere around 300 feet of putting pressure on them. I like how you said that if they are not working properly, you could put yourself and others in danger such as pedestrians or cyclists. My sister is considering auto services to take a look at her brakes because she thinks that they don’t stop as quickly as they have been.

It was super helpful when you said that sinking pedals when your car is stopped, is a sign you might have a leak in the brake system. I don’t know a lot about cars, but want to keep it in as good of shape as I can so that it last me a long time. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for a low brake pedal, or squeaking, so I catch any problems early.

I noticed just the other day that my girlfriend’s car would start to vibrate a little bit each time she stopped. I didn’t think too much of it, but the article mentions that you should have your brakes checked immediately if this is the case. I don’t know anything about brakes, so I’ll be sure my girlfriend gets her car checked out as soon as possible.

I like your tip to listen for a high pitched squeal. That’s an intentional design decision your brakes have to warn you. That’s why I always go to a mechanic if I hear an odd sound coming from my vehicle.

This was an interesting read, I had always known that vibration in brakes was a bad sign, but I never knew why it was bad. I find it very interesting that it is because the rotors have changed shape or been worn down over time. However, I imagine that must be a serious problem since it sounds like it would take a lot more work to fix other than just replacing some worn out brake pads.

My car just began to have a pulling when I begin to brake. I couldn’t figure out why this was happening, and if this was a problem or just something I could wait to fix. I am glad that you mentioned a few things that I could check for and I will be sure that I will get to a mechanic as soon as possible. Is there any way to stop this from happening in the future?
