break change at 14k
Posted this in general forum but got no response
This happened 3 weeks ago and has persisted on till today.
Since fall is almost here I tend to drive with my windows down as much as possible to enjoy the sound of the exhaust (it gets really cold here in chicago). But I've noticed that whenever I break I smell burning plastic (or something) coming from the front tires.
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with break changes and as to how much would it cost (at the dealer). Also if its normal to have your brembo break pads gone @ 14k.

Re: break change at 14k
i dont know about the brembos but the non-brembos I have rplaced pads 4 times within 20K miles. Now, I drive a LOT and use my brakes a LOT, but...wear is relative and you are stopping the same heavy, fast car. I smell my brakes all the time, but they smell like brakes. You should try to identify the smell. If you smell rubber and not breaks, check it out ASAP.
however, this should be COVERED by the dealer, no? My brakes are covered to 36K miles, I would imagine yours are too. I can't imagine thats a AT only policy.
