Brake pads should be checked at least every 5,000 miles for excessive or uneven wear. Although brake pad wear is unique to each vehicle, it is generally recommended that brake pads be replaced every 50,000 miles.

Malfunctions with brake pads can have many effects on the performance of a vehicle. The following chart outlines some common issues that can be caused by brake pad malfunctions:

Issue	Possible Cause
Braking requires an abnormal amount of force on brake pedal	Worn brake pads
Car pulls to one side when braking	Brake pad lining(s) soaked with oil or brake fluid
Poor braking performance	Brake pad lining(s) soaked with water, oil, or brake fluid; Overheated brake pad linings
Sensitive braking	Incorrect brake pad linings; Greasy brake pad linings
Noisy braking (grinding or screeching sounds when braking)	Extremely worn brake pads
