Today while driving on the highway at around 85miles/h I needed to brake not hard but rather moderately because of sudden traffic in front. While braking I heard a noise and felt it at the brake pedal. Brakes felt good but it was like grinding between the rotors and something metal or Harder than the pads. It occured 2-3 times but when I tried to replicate it with empty road nothing happened.
Even tried hard on the brakes and still nothing. When I exited the Highway I dropped the windows and tried some moderate braking with 30-50 miles but nothing again.

I know my pads and rotors are almost due, Rear: 4000km, Fronts: 5000-6000km. Pads are squeaky a lot.

Any thoughts?

 

No one??

 

pads sound like they are shot.

 

I believe they put more metallic compounds in the pad as it gets closer to the backing plate to warn you that your brakes are almost out.

Try replacing the components and see if it changes anything, but if you get new pads or rotors, make sure you properly bed them in before going hard on the brakes

 

Thanks man, I thought that too. Although when I asked the tech at the stealer he told me no way.
To have piece of mind I already ordered new rotors and pads (not at the stealer)!!!
