I have a 2002 camry,60K miles on original brake pads,my problem is when i brake as the car comes to a stop there is a grinding/groaning sound, also when i start to accelerate from a dead stop i get the same thing happens until i am around 20mph or above.

Most Likely with 60k miles and never change brake pads that your pads
are worn out and possiable damage to your brake rotors. Most likely you
will need to replace rotors and pads. I found that usaimportparts com has original replacment parts. I found that original parts work best for me. also you might even do a brake fluid flush too this is good preventive
mantiance for you car. Good luck

Thanks for the suggestions,i will do it over the weekend and post the results and let you know if that take care of the problem,but what concerns me is that i took the wheels off and check the pads and they had l a lot of meat on them, also, when i did my inspection five months ago thery were fine.

Thanks mugan
i did replaced the pads and rotors this weekend with oem parts,and that took care of the pulsating brake pedal when i brake ,but the groaning noise is still there,and i narrow it down to tire noise ,thanks for the advice at least i got a new set of brakes on that puppy.hopefully i get another 60k out of them.
