Brakes replaced at 33K km
My breaks had to be replaced at 33K km. I was really surprised since I was expecting more like 70K. In addition they replaced both pads and rotors. I replaced it within few days the indicator went off. Is this normal? What is your experience? Thanks, V

I did front brakes at 38,000 km. Rears went longer. It is normal to do pads and rotors at the same time. Those are the breaks.

Depends a TON on how you drive your vehicle. Especially with a ride of 5,000+ pounds. Stop and go traffic and continuously slamming the brakes can burn them up. Everybody thinks "I'm easy on my brakes" well, not if you're roasting them at 33Km.

I drive very efficiently with my 2001 4.4i, have pulled an 8,300 pound GVWR travel trailer for over 30,000 miles, have over 90,000 miles on the vehicle AND I still am on the ORIGINAL BRAKES which look to last at least another 10,000 miles. My other vehicle is a Suzuki GSX1300R "Hayabusa", so I'm not exactly a conservative person; I just drive efficiently, i.e. I watch traffic flow, plan WAY ahead for stop lights, gear down (the transmission would do so anyway when slowing with the brakes) rather than rush up to a stop breaking hard at the last second.

I'm over 76K miles with the original break pads/rotors. Just had the X serviced at 75K miles. The Tech said the pads fine and declined my request replace them.
