All 4 wheel brakes werr bad, $600 bad. I never heard any squealing, pulsing, anything indicating the brakes were going, inspection people all said they seemed okay. I decided to bring it in to a non-dealer due to having 48000 on the oem pads. Pads were shot, rotors scored, etc. $600 later, all seemed okay anyone else not have any indicators of brakes going bad?

2004 Jeep Liberty. Rear brake disc. Took the vehicle to the Firestone dealer, and showed them the disc plate. Rotors. They were only grooves on the outside of the plate, and the inside of the plate was smooth and clean. Called the manufacturer, and they said since vehicle had 16,000 miles on it they could not replace them unless the dealer said it was a defect. The manufacturer said consumer had to pay for the inspection as well as the repairs. Dealer would make a determination whether or not that it was a defect or not. There was not brake pad failure, it could have been a caliper failure. I had new rotors and new brake pads put in at the cost $350 plus tax.
