If your brake pads are squealing because the brake pads are worn down then you may have 500 to 1000 more miles left on the brake pads or you may have 5000 to 10000 miles more left on the brake pads.
It depends on how far worn down the brake pads are.
Or if you have installed new brake pads and then they started squealing then something is wrong.
If your brakes are squealing it's best to inspect the brake pads or brakes or take the car or vehicle to a shop to have the brakes inspected for safety reasons.
When brake pads wear out the indicator on the brake pads will make a screeching or squealing noise when you apply the brakes.
That is an indicator that you need to replace your brake pads soon.
When that indicator gets into contact with the brake rotors you usually have around 500 to 1000 miles left on the brake pads.
But if you can afford to have the brake pads replaced than you should have the brake pads replaced or replace the brake pads yourself right away.
I always replace my brake pads when I notice they are getting worn down.
You don't want to wait until the brake pads are completely worn down to metal because that can damage your brake rotors and it will take longer for your vehicle to stop.
If you keep driving with bad brakes you'll eventually get into a car accident that can either be deadly or cause serious injury.
If your brake pads are worn out then they should be replaced because once they get completely worn out then the metal on the brake pad will make contact with the brake rotor and when that happens the brake rotors will be damaged and also need replaced.
When you hear a scraping noise when pressing on the brake pedals and stopping the vehicle then that's an indicator that the brake pads need replaced.
You can also remove the wheel and inspect the brake pads and if the brake pads are getting thin then it's time to replace them.
If your brake calipers are sticking or you have leaking brakes then that also needs repaired because it is a safety issue.
Always fix brakes and don't drive the vehicle until you do.
The brakes are very important to stopping your vehicle.
it is very dangerous to drive with bad brakes.
When your brakes are bad it creates a dangerous situation because it can take longer for your car to stop when you step on the brakes.
Also your brakes may completely fail on you and then you would not be able to stop the vehicle at all unless you use your emergency brake.
If your brakes do fail then slowly apply your emergency or parking brake to slow the vehicle down and stop the vehicle.
I once had a burst brake line that caused me to lose my brakes and so I had to use the emergency brake to stop the vehicle.
I then slowly drove the vehicle home but used my emergency brakes to stop the vehicle.
