So, I am at the dealer getting an inspection and the transmission flush (cause I'm lazy this week) and they come out to tell me that my 2015 1500 failed due to "front brake pads not making full contact with the rotor". I said that I was surprised that they would be even close to worn since they only have about 25K on some Power Stop rotors and pads (truck is around 67K). They said that there is plenty of life in the pads, they just aren't making full contact. Said it's about $600 to replace the rotors and pads.
Of course I told them to put the rejection sticker on. That is insane. First, replacing the rotors and pads, if they aren't worn, doesn't seem like it would fix anything. I'm guessing I've got some dirty sliders or something. Have to take a look when I get home but figured I'd see if anyone has had anything like this so I know what to look at first. Thoughts?
I should add that the truck stops on a dime (for a full size truck). 100% convinced that the dealer is full of ****.
