| | | Most people were getting 20,000 miles or so on the stock Saturn Astra pads, but I have 76,000 on my original pads, and they are just now needing replacement. My honest guess is that it's a cost issue, so they really didn't care about what pads were installed, as long as they worked. Of course, manufacturers want things to wear out so they will come back for work. Personally, 30,000 miles on pads is what I consider to be fairly normal. I wouldn't expect the metal to metal contact that soon, but anything is possible. Do you know if the truck has an overactive traction control system?

| | | Posted by bandi That's about it for GM brakes... actually, she did fairly well at 30,000 miles. I don't know why they can't make brakes that last, VW* pads/rotors seem to be done at about 150,000 km, where if I had a GM minivan in with 40,000 on it, it was a guaranteed brake job.
*not including the Routan, which needs rear brakes almost weekly. VW has actually stopped using Mopar brake parts on these and has come out with their own version now.
| um Bandi, the front brakes on my Cobalt SS/SC went 95,000 miles... the rears had just been replaced at 105,000 miles. None of that shit. As for the Colorado incident, I have no fucking idea, but of course on this board it will be this: GM's are shit chevies are garbage fucking domestic pieces of shit... maybe it's because your mom is a brake rider? maybe you live in a hilly area? maybe the truck has other problems? who the fuck knows? maybe your mom should go buy a Honda Ridgeline... those have unicorns and rainbows that come with them. and they never brake and they're the most perfect vehicle to sanctify the earth with it's treadprint. fuck i'm in a nasty mood today.
