Now that's interesting. 32k miles on these brakes. Driven by my wife (ie - accelerate to a red light, act suprised that you see a red light, proceed to mash the brakes like andre the giant and pray the car stops in time). No vibration or squeeling yet on the brakes, but they could definitely be worn. I'll try pulling up on the brake pedal next time I'm in it.
Thanks!
