New pads needed most likely...sounds like your metal to metal and need new rotors also...look inside your rim and look at metal rotor..is it smooth/shiney or rough and dull....should b smooth on both sides

SOURCE: 98 Chevy Lumina has front

I may be a wheel bearing. Try shifting the weight of the car on the front tires by turning the wheelslightly while driving about 30 MPH. Don't turn enough to change lanes, just enough to put the load on the outside bearing. It may quiet down in one direction. The failed bearing is generally the side that you turned to in order to make the noise go away. Say the noise goes away when you steer to the right, the failed bearing is usually the right one.

You can also check for play by jacking up the car and shaking the tire. There should be no play.

You most likely have a wheel speed sensor dropping out this would make abs system think one wheel is locking up and therefore activate. this usually will happen rt before you stop at around 5mph or so.Also if you have bigger tires than factory and have not had abs programmed for this size it can aggravate it

SOURCE: 1999 Ford Windstar, Grinding Noise when brakes are pressed

Sounds like the pads are worn out and are grinding on the rotors. You will likely have to replace the pads and rotors.

The brake lights won't go out. I pulled the fuse so the battery doesn't go dead, but can't figure out why they are staying lit.

on your brake pedal there is a switch that controls your brake lights over time it comes to lose just enough for the switch won't come in contact with the pedal

My 2003 Chevy Impala keeps making a noise when I crank it up. It sounds like a voltage regulator or something. Also my traction control light keeps coming on and making a rumbling noise when I take off...

Could be a bad electrical connection to your Anit-lock brakes and TC harness. These bend back and forth and break over time. The noise can be anything, but if you have a fuel starvation or back pressure issue, the engine will shutter when you push the accelerator down.

I am having problems with rear brake lights,checked all bulbs, replaced brake switch, fuses checked, loose wires, both running lights and signal work, car is a2001 chevy lumina

Check the turn signal switch. especially if the center brake is the only brake light that comes on when you step on the brake pedal. Sometimes wiggling the switch will get the brake lights to work momentarily.
