Common signs of worn brake pads include:

Squealing o r screeching noise when braking, caused by built-in wear indicators.

Grinding sound indicating metal-on-metal contact — urgent replacement needed.

Reduced braking performance o r longer stopping distances.

Brake pedal feels soft o r goes down too far.

Vibrations o r pulsations felt in the brake pedal o r steering wheel during braking.

If you notice any of these, have your brake pads checked immediately to ensure safety.
