No, both inside rear pads are wearing out about the same. They went from new to 3/32 in 3700 miles. outters and fronts are like new.

 

Update on mine....while in for the second time in under 12,000 miles, today they put new pads on (OEM, 2nd time) resurfaced the rotors (2nd time) and replaced the calipers!! They said the rear calipers felt tight so they replaced them and hope that solves the problem. Whadda you guys think? I think I'll be taking it back in in 3500 miles......♠

 

I got really confused for a second because of that picture... I received an e-mail notification and I went to the latest post, and there's a picture of... what appears to be a midget on top of a masked man, with... um... I'm not quite sure what it is.

 

Looks like a picture from a crappy horror movie.

 

it was originally a spam....I reported it and braineater edited it lol

 

My god people.
Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome

That's where the picture is from. Uncultured sons of . . . . . .

 

I thought it was a Big Brother and a Little Brother from BioShock.

 

haha I saw the movie new in the theater. If you'd told me then that no one would recognize it 25 years later I wouldn't have believed it.

 

Hehe... anyway, I just got finished doing a nail / brake pad inspection of the rear. No nail, but what I did find is when I had reported earlier that I had irregular inner-wear on the rear pads, it seems to be more on the driver's side.

Driver's / Passenger's Side Outboard Pads: 7mm / 7mm
Driver's / Passenger's Side Inboard Pads: 5-6mm / 6-7mm

Also, I've noticed the car originally required 3 - 4 clicks to fully engage the parking brake. Now it's up to 7 - 8. Does anyone know what the service manual says the proper amount of clicks should be? I still haven't bought mine... bah.

I hope this helps... somehow.

 

The Haynes manual said it should hold the car within 3-5 clicks on the e-brake handle. When I re-adjusted it, it would hold the car in 4 clicks. When the driver's brake was dragging (factory e-brake adjustment) the car held at 3 clicks.

 

How would you adjust the e-brake?

 

390 dollars to replace rear rotars what a joke

 

Are you out of warranty? It should have been covered.

 

how do you see? i asked my dealer and they said it couldnt? it started grinding at 12600 and i couldnt take it any more after 300 mi and i said something about it when i got my tranny replaced that the rotors were scored at 10000

 

Well i just had my rear pads replaced and rotors turned at 14,050km or like 8,700mi. And the piston side brake pad was right to the metal, while the outside looked near new. I by no means drive this car hard. Just a daily commute back and forth from work.

 

they can't get pads for me what do I do now?

 

Dude your dealer sucks. You should not be paying for it anyway, it is a KNOWN ISSUE. You should be in a loaner or rental while they fix your brakes. Mine have been done twice so far in 12000 miles. Complain to GM. You are getting screwed.
*edit* read back a few pages or all of them to get the scope of the problem

 

Once your dealer replaces the pads, make sure they re-adjust your e-brake so there's no drag.

 

I didnt want to start a new thread so I am posting here PLEASE READ

My dealer is giving me a tuff time about this and my rotors are grinding for over 1,500 miles now! ITS REALLY BAD, How do I go about getting this fixed through them under warrenty! I am currently at 12,000 miles, when I bring it in what do I say and ask?

Last time they said its rust and then another time they said it is suposed to sound like this??? I have had other people look at them and they are sliced! Like you can lay music on they with your key if youd like lol

 

ALL of my pads are prestine exept the inside pad passenger side

 

the inside pass side rotor on mine is scored, but thats the only area, i hear some grinding when I am in reverse.

I am going into my dealer soon and see whats up

i have 6800 miles

 

My inner driver side rear has two deep groves. I can only think it's from the Ebrake. 2500 mi here.

 

ok i have gone to another dealership and they said after 7,000 miles there is no coverage on adjusting the e-brake and the pads and brakes can not be serviced because they are not covered under warrenty and will charge me hundreds of bucks! few hours of labor and the pads! WTF now I am at 12,000 miles! I have been arguing since 9,000 and got them cehcked at 4,000 soon they actually will be worn! What do I do?

 

Send them the link to this thread, file a BBB complaint, and CC the email to GM customer service as well.

 

Better yet, file a safety complaint with NHTSA:
