Since the last week my car would randomly make a squealing sound when I'm driving. It would stop when I brake. It MAY change it's tone when I am applying the brakes but I am not sure. What can this problem be?

How can I tell my brakes are out? Which part is out? What do I need, where do I get it, how easy is it to do by myself? THANKS!

Your pads are finished. They have a little metal wear indicator that scratches against the rotor to let you know when you are really low on pad.

Go out and buy some new rotors and pads. It's not that hard to change your own brakes. Go get a Haynes manual.

Sounds good, can I purchase these items at Kragens and stuff? Or do I have to get it from Honda?

Just so I am more informed, what is the job of the brake pads and what is the job of the rotors?
