- If you hear a loud scream every time you hit the brakes, then don't delay repairing the car brakes by taking your car to a qualified repair shop. A scream means there is metal-to-metal contact due to the worn condition of the brake pads.
- If you find that your car doesn't stop even after braking, or is about to come to a stop for a long time, you should see a mechanic immediately. It's not dangerous to keep going.
- If the steering wheel vibrates in your hand when you stop, it probably means something to do with the brake disc. The blades can change shape over time and are often ignored, but "shaking", as mentioned, is an indication that it needs to be addressed urgently.
