The start of the brake saga... 9/22 brought the truck in due to an intermittent brake failure dash error. Brakes checked out okay with 80% pad life on rear and 90% on front and it was diagnosed with an "undiagnosed wiring issue". 9/24 180 miles later service brake pad monitor error came on. 4 hours later a clicking also stated in the steering column when pressing on the brakes. 9/24 in the morning the dash says it's detected new brake pads. 9/25 I made an appointment and the soonest was 10/3. 10/2 evey time I set my parking brake it detects new brake pads. After today's appointment the diagnosis is a bad brake control module and now my rear brakes and rotors need to be replaced because one of the four pads are worn and the rotor is gouged to heck when 180 miles earlier they never mentioned such issue even though I brought it in for a brake failure error? I asked the advisor about this and she said when they check your brakes they don't look at all wheels, nor do they take all the tires off. I was also told it's completely normal to have uneven wear on pads. So WTF, when I was confident I could head out on a 2,000 mile trip. So, I'm told this isn't warranty repair. (brake module is) I thought rotors were under btb warranty? Have any of you had any luck with having this repaired under warranty? Is it a faulty sensor gouging this ****** out of my rotor? Wondering what I can do to prevent this in the future besides check my own rotors every 10,000 miles since the multi point inspection is total BS and they only look at one wheel and your outer rotor only. ***new info*** I pulled the wheel off to look for myself and the pad looks to have a lot of life/thickness left but of coarse gouged due to the rotor. The gouged area of the rotor is in the exact location of the sensor. Thinking I will pull the sensors right out of the pad so it stops damaging the rotor until the dealer replaces them or I do.
