| Description of the problem | During routine service inspection the dealer mechanics reported the rear disk brakes were worn "almost metal to metal". I replaced the rear brake pads myself. The driver's side outside pad was worn almost to the metal but the other three pads were worn not much at all. I have photographs. The brakes worked fine before and after the pads were replaced. My son has the exact same year and type vehicle with similar mileage that exhibited the very same pad worn in a like manner. |
