Grinding brakes?

So guys, I haven't driven the Camry in a while since it's now my brother's commuter car. But yesterday when I drove it for the first time in 2-3 months I noticed the brakes grind under moderate-heavy braking, and can be felt slightly in the pedal too.

Also it seems slightly more grabby than it used to be, especially while parking

Any thoughts?

The only thought I have is it needs brakes. And since you can hear and feel grinding rotors also. Have it looked at as soon as you can.

Sounds like metal to metal.

Depending on which side it's on, front or back expect it to be $100.00-$150.00 to fix that.

More than likely of u have rear drums, thats where your problem is.

The rear drums usually arent inspected as much as the front rotorS

Does the vehicle shake or seem to wobble while moderate-heavy braking at higher speeds.... 40+
