What I would recommend is that you have the brakes inspected at any brake shop ..... just to make sure there isn't something wrong with the brake system.

If the calipers and rotors are in good shape ...... maybe the pads are just glazed over.

If so, I would recommend they be replaced with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufactured) brake pads.

Back-in-the-day ....... we would just take the brake shoes off, blow out the brake dust - which was asbestos - not using a respirator - , sand off the glazed part from the shoes and reinstall them.

(dang, it's a wonder any of us can still breath)
