Post subject:  Rear brakes at 28,000? UPDATE

I have an 2005 renegade, last friday it started making a noise from
the rear passenger side on left turns. close to dealer so i stop in. tech goes for a ride hears noise, puts up on lift. pulls off tire and says its brakes. I ask them to check front so they do and they are better than half. I ask why backs would be bad and fronts fine and they just give stupid look. I suggested maybe sticky caliper or slides maybe even proportioning valve, they said never happened to any other liberties they have seen. So no service done yet till i hear back from jeep. Sorry so long just curios if anybody has any ideas.

Don't know what to say. I have 46K on mine and still the original pads and rotors. The rear pads do look like they are wearing a little faster than the front, but I still have another 5k easily before in need of replacement.

21k and I cannot tell anything as worn front or rear. Maybe a sticky caliper like you said?

My front brakes went and my rotors were warped in my cavalier at 13,000 miles and it doesnt have traction control or abs. Otherwise I never replaced brakes on a vehicle with less than 40,000 miles on them.

talked to another dealer today. i mentioned rear brakes and they guessed how many miles were on the car. said they have had quite a few with just the rears bad between 25k and 30k

Changed rear pads and rotors on sat. after new hardware on passenger side problem was worse. pads were down to almost metal on pass. side fine on driver side. took off new stuff put old stuff bake on dropped off an stealership tonight. told them the caliper is sticking they said ok they will fix or replace and put my new rotor and pads on for free!
