If the braking is augmented by the regenerative system, shouldn't the pads and rotors last a really long time?

 

We have had brake squeak problems that have resulted in new rotors and pads at 20,000 miles. This was unanticipated as we have a history of very light driving and braking.

 

Anyone else wit brake squeak problems?

Is anyone even on this forum???

To answer this old question I now have 33,000 miles on my 2010 and my pads and rotors have more to spare I would say about 20,000 more miles. If you are still out there I would say you are hard on brakes. Pad wear depends on driving habits. My pads are quiet and the brakes are very responsive. I have not had the grabby brakes others have talked about only when the car is cold will they grip hard on the first stop but nothing that I could complain about. Love the FFH and my next car will be another one. My life time mileage is at 42 mpg and I have had many tanks that would go past 700 miles if I ran my tank to the bottom. My worst fillup was 39.8 mpg all the rest have been over 40 mpg. I have not gone on any long trips so this could change on my up coming 4,000 mile trip, but I do expect mid 30's on that trip.
