Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)PREMATURE WEARING OF BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. WHEN NEW, THE CAR MADE IT TO 37,450 ON THE REAR BRAKES. THEY WERE THEN REPLACED FOR ABOUT $400 ON 12/31/10. THOSE LASTED 29,000 MILES UNTIL 66,082 MILES ON 2/18/13. THEY WERE REPLACED AGAIN, THIS TIME FOR ABOUT $500. NOW, AT 87,500 MILES (ONLY 22,000 MILES LATER), THEY ARE WORN TO THE BONE. LAND ROVER CLAIMS IT IS A WEARABLE ITEM AND THEY USE SOFT PADS FOR BETTER BRAKING. I'VE OWNED DOZENS OF VEHICLES OVER 50 YEARS AND USUALLY 40,000 MILES IS NORMAL FOR PADS AND ROTORS. EVEN IF WHAT LAND ROVER SAYS IS TRUE AND 30,000 IS ABOUT RIGHT FOR THIS VEHICLE, THE 22,000 MILES I JUST GOT OUT OF THE LAST SET IS HORRIBLE. NEVER AGAIN. *TR
