Some Honda Parte Just Don't Last

[Fuzzy]

Just had to have the original front brake pads replaced on my Honda Ridgeline. They only made it to 301,350 miles. Rear ones even worse were replaced around 250,000 miles.

How many bumpers did you go through though? We can't all use trees to stop every time or there won't be any trees left.

I'm in the lumber business. Need to get those trees on the ground and take them to the mill to saw them up.

Is it too late to get the truck covered under the lemon law?

you must never stop. Brakes that last that long is unheard of around san francisco.
Brakes wear out quick in stop and go traffic.

That is a whole lot of hiway driving.

at 50k miles they told me my front brake pads were about 80%... so I guess doing the math that puts them at 250K for replacement?
The rear were metal on metal at that point, found that on our trip to Seattle... they started making noise in Spokane on our way there... needless to say the drive through the mountains on the way home was an interesting one.

Kind of surpirsed the rears went out first. It is usually the fronts. Although I had to replace the rear pads on my jeep before the front pads but that is because the ESP kept activating on sharp corners at high speeds. Happens to a lot of jeeps with extreme lifts.

It is heavy to highway miles, but not that heavy. I am easy on the brakes with lords of following distances and off the gas early for stops. May be why the fronts lasted longer as seldom hard enough to sink the front end shifting weight off the rear.
