Re: Brake wear light
I think it depends on how you drive. I did almost exclusively highway on my Saturn Vue until I gave it to my daughter at 118k, and she finally needed brake pads at 142k. They were able to turn the rotors.
When I picked up my used SRT6, it had a bad shudder when I braked. I thought it was warped rotor(s) from driving them through puddles when hot. Then I drove it in a bad rainstorm and the problem went away almost entirely. I now think it was a stuck caliper that was dragging. Unfortunately, I had already ordered rotors and pads, so I just had my shop replace them. I don't mess with brakes or tires on a vehicle that I often run to 120-150 mph. I think parts were $400 and labor was only $156, and I won't have to mess with them again for a long long time.
