2001 Accord Coupe Rear Rotor Replacement
Hi all,
I just took my 2001 Accord Coupe EX-V6 in for rear brake pad replacement. The dealer told me that my rear rotors need to be replaced as well - I only have ~58,000KM (or about 35K miles). I find it a bit surprising that I need ot replace my rotors so quickly. The car is driven every other day, and most of the time it sits in my garage. I live in Toronto Canada so maybe that'll give you an idea how the weather is like (Hot in the summer, cool in the fall, cold in the winters). On average I get about 250KM a week. Could leaving the car in the garage so much cause the rotors to wear out prematurely? The service technican coulnd't come up with a concrete reason as to why they would wear out so early besides: -Driving Habits -Leaving the car outside/inside for extended periods of time (rust/dew build up?) -Inconsistent service (Not the case... i take my car in at the recommended periods regularly) I had always thought rotors would last 80,000KM to 120,000KM before they need to be replaced. Anyhow, I'm just wondering if 58,000KM is a bit early for a rear rotor replacement and if other 2001 Accord owners have had their rotors replaced so early(?) as well.
