^As he said. Check your brake fluid. If it is low most likely your brake pads are worn. What was the last time you checked your brake pads?

An 07 with 16k should still be under warranty. Take it to the dealer and let them fix it.

^i do have stock wheels on it

i took it to the dealership today to get it checked out
and its a problem that i didnt expect to hear at all

apparently, 7 wires in the ngine compartment were chewed through by a mouse or something
i keep that car garaged, by the way
i called my insurance to make a claim, cuz the dealer said it would take $4,500 to replace the whole harnest
the dude taking my claim said that it actually isnt uncommon for that to happen
he suspects that whatever chewed the wires was making a nest int the engine bay
which actually explains where there was a pile of shredded plastic bags on the driver side engine bay in front of the firewall (i saw that and wondered how that crap got there and why was it shredded up)

so now i got to set up some mouse traps to get that pest out of my garage
lucky for me, i have a detached garage, so the infestations contained only there
i ddint notice any droppings or anything, but i will be cleaning out the garage soon

anyway, thanks for reading and thanks again for the the help
