Hey all, in May I went for a routine oil change not expecting anything major, I only had 19,456 miles on my vehicle. After about an hour the service advisor came to get me and said he had something to show me that I had been a “bad girl”. He walked me over to my vehicle and asked me if I noticed anything wrong with my rotors, I chose not to engage with his semantics and simply stated whatever the issue is please just explain it to me. So he says that I must have been racing my vehicle because I need new rotors and new pads all the way around. The rear rotors have a groove or a lip around the center and near the top of the rotors, and the front rotors are warped, the pads were worn down but with enough surface to hold off on replacing them.
Has anyone else out there with the same model year run into this issue with so few miles on their vehicle?
A family member of mine has a 2017 SXT and they just got their brakes replaced when they hit 50,000 miles which makes sense for their situation, they commute for work all over the place. As for Myself prior to the month of May, I drove 10 miles a day round trip for work. I don’t drive my car hard, while I do enjoy the speed this vehicle offers I choose not to engage in anything to unsafe or unpredictable. I’m a commercial driver and I would like to maintain my commercial drivers license ;-)
I know keeping everything stock and purchasing parts from a reliable Internet source or from the dealer is expensive, but for now I would like to keep everything stock on my vehicle until the warranty runs out. Would it be worth my while to attempt to speak to the person in charge of a service department to see if they would cut me a deal? Or perhaps with the dealership itself to look into why I might be needing a replacement like this so soon?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If anybody has any questions I will answer them to the best of my ability I am by no means a mechanic but I’m open to learning as I go.
