A D V E R T I S E M E N T S
When I had service done on my CR-V at 30,000 miles I asked my mechanics to check the brakes. They were worn, as to be expected, but still had 50% life. I was pleasantly surprised and trust me -- it takes a lot for me to feel pleasant anything towards this car.
Fast forward 6,000 miles -- mixed between highway and around-town usage -- and I started hearing a slight grinding at low speeds. It sounded like rotor rust or worn pads (or both).
When I took it in for service the mechanic showed me both rear pads were nearly gone and that the rotors had developed a good amount of wear. The front pads, for what it's worth, were fine. He said new state regulations make it nearly impossible for them to resurface solid rotors and that they should be replaced along with the pads.
The pads I was expecting. Replacing the rotors at 36,000 miles? That seems awfully early. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of Honda's parts.
