Brakes light came on at 16,000 miles. Dealer said I am hard on brakes. Had to replace both pads and rotors.
Took the car in again 6 months later at 25,000 miles service. Brake pads is down to 4mm already, and rotors are warped. How can I be that hard on brakes, when my commute has been the exact same one for the last 10 years (still live at the same place, commute to the same school, and previous Mercedes S550 and BMW 545 needed brake replacement at 39K and 45K miles). Nothing in my driving style and commute has changed, except for this new S4 car.
