[QUOTE="2ndFord, post: 1817487, member: 46420"] 2018 52.5K miles. Was told at 50K service that brake pads were in "Yellow" range. At 52K I hit a sort of lane-dividing curb at moderate speed trying to exit Newark airport July 17. Coincidence, cause, imagination, or none of the above, I thought I started hearing the slightest "tap tap tap tap" perhaps right front when coming to a complete stop. Because I have a 1500 mile trip this week to take a daughter to college I wanted it checked out. Local dealer where I ordered and had serviced since new had no service appts available for 6 weeks, so I got an appt at a dealer 50 miles away. That dealer said pads are still in yellow range, but front rotors need to be turned and rear rotors need to be replaced. Is this normal? Can't service rear rotors at 52.5K? Sounds wrong. Their recommendations puzzled me as well. Wanted to resurface front rotors and replace rear rotors, and REINSTALL THE WORN-TO-YELLOW PADS!!!! Why not just replace the worn pads right away, rather than having the rotors wear to old pads that clearly need to be replaced soon? Doesn't make sense to me. Incidentally they also found a "weepy" right front axle seal that should be replaced, and a cracked drivers side valve cover that is allowing about 1 maybe 2 tablespoons of oil to accumulate in the valley at the top of the valve cover. They told me these valve covers are on a national back order so can't do now. Anyway they said I'd have no issues putting on 1500 miles "as is" for my trip, so I'm just doing that and making an appt at my local dealer for late Sept/early Oct when I should be at 55K. Will schedule that appt NOW and ask them to order the valve cover. Opinions Appreceiated!!! [/QUOTE]
