The brake pads are a part of the braking system. Many people do refer to the brake pads as "the brakes", but you'll need to make sure the rotors and calipers are working properly as well. Additionally, The term 'brake pads' are associated with 'disc brake' systems. Earlier vehicles had 'brake shoes' which were associated with 'drum brakes'. Depending on the year of the car, front brakes could mean either and is a generic term.

Brake pads are a component of the braking system in a vehicle, not the same as the brakes themselves. Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the brake rotors to slow or stop the vehicle. The brakes refer to the entire system, including components like the brake pads, rotors, calipers, and brake fluid.
