Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 20k miles, noticed rear grinding sound when braking. sound seemed to dissipate after a few hundred feet of braking. however, it turns out that the grinding sound was the rear pads having been worn down to the rivets. i now have to replace the rear rotors and rear pads, at 20k miles. this is very unusual. should be able to go to 60k miles on rear pads, perhaps as soon as 30k on fronts. *tr updated 12/12/2007 *bf updated 12/12/07
