Brake pads going already?
#18
I always thought it was better to tell the customer an actual measurement instead of a percentage. Mostly because a percentage is basically just a guess based upon how much pad life looks to be remaining. But since not all pads are the same thickness when new, it just seems a better idea to give an actual measurement instead.

I 100% agree with you.

I get the squeaking when backing out slowly in reverse usually after the car has sat around for some time. I have 4000 miles on the car. However, I feel no degradation in braking performance. I read that reverse breaking noise is something you learn to live with in this car.

Update: I took the car in a few weeks ago and they checked the pads. They said I had significant wear left and that it was some sort of glaze build up which they removed and everything now seems perfect. They went on to say that if it had been the pads going at only 13k they would have warranted them. Big props to my dealer their service team.

Could be glazed or warped rotors. Take a pen or your nail (if it's long enough) and run it vertically on the rotor. It should be smooth
