Braking Pads
Braking pads, how long do they last?
I am now near 16k miles and started hearing seqeeching sounds. I just got back my CLS from 15K service and the fkers did not inspect the braking pads! Idiots! I needed to get the service manger to raod test the car on Monday. On the phone he blamed the high humidity hot summer days for the noises.
We will see...

I had mine changed under warranty at 20k miles.... I'm sure that was a fluke. I still can't believe they did that.
Anyways, brake pad life depends upon the car and how you drive. I know someone who got over 80k out of the original front pads on their Accord. But I would guess that sporty cars should have somewhat less life. I would expect them to last at least 40k though unless you're really hard on them. I've never gotten less than 40k on any of my brakes and I'm not exactly a tame driver.
