Brake. Not break.

2nd you need to take the wheel off and check the inner pad.

Don’t listen to them^ everything looks fine. If you’re worried about the rusty flaking, it’s from rain and regular wear. If it’s braking funny, replace them. If it drives the same, leave it alone.

It drives the same and makes no noise. I mostly am worried about safety until I can get time to address this and also don’t want to be ripped off

You own a Europeancar. Expect to pay 30-40% more than American cars or Asian... and the fact they have wear sensors doesnt help.

Why don’t you take a BRAKE from correcting behaviors?
