My car is at 22k now, its an 07. I dont brake hard at all. Had my rotors resurfaced a few times at the dealer, doubt they changed the pads. About how long do our pads seem to last?

Have them check them for you the next time you take it in. For some people they can last 60K, and for others only 30K. It just depends how much you use them.

Normally its time for a change when u hear a squeeking sound from ur brake pads when breaking, thats when i would replace them

LethalSS

or when u r braking.

LOL at "braking" vs. "breaking".

ShortStack

lol.. i read right past that one...

Nichq

Aight thanks guys. I should be good then, brakes feel fine and im at like 22k.
Gonna be gettin new pads and rotors in May anyway, so im good till then.

Why are you getting new pads and rotors in May? Why not save the money and replace them when they need replacing

Nichq

I guess thats true. I just hate my frickin rotors, cause theve already been resurfaced by the factory like 3 times. They refuse to replace them, just keep resurfacing.

chris88z24

Why are they warped or something? I have 30k on my 07 and have never looked twice at the brakes (except the ebrake which I ripped out of the bracket from doing too many slides in the snow lol)

Nichq

I got vibrating when doing over 60 and braking like 1 month after i got the car. So they resurfaced them. Then 3 months later the vibs came back and they resurfaced them agian. And then they did it this past sept again. Theyve been ok since then. But if that **** happens again they better replace them.

Do the techs at your dealership TORQUE the lug nuts to 100ft/lbs? Go ahead and laugh but unequal torque on lug nuts has been known to pull a rotor out of shape. Then as you use them the heat will set the warp. Like I said. Go Ahead and laugh. I was told this by the guy that serviced my first car with disc brakes. I pull my wheels every time I wash the car to clean them and behind them. Torque the lugs in a cross pattern and have NEVER had a HINT of brake warp on any car I have ever owned. Maybe that's why some tool companies make torque wrenches for wheels. Brake rotors should NOT be warping 3 times in 22K miles. For ANY reason.

LOL breaking... you get what i ment

I have had the same problem with my car. My car was vibratind over 60 mph. They re surfaced the rotors 3 times and then replaced the rotors. Now my only problem is my ABS system went out and the guy at the dealership told me all the codes point to me having to buy a new 900 dollar part. I only have close to 39,000 on my car as well.
