My rotors warped at 22k and 2 years.....
so yes, in my opinion there is a OEM problem when the rotors fail when the bake pads are not even half way worn. Dealer refused to change or turn as i didnt have their C$1000 service 3 performed by a dealer but a well known, reputable independant garage. Used the conjecture of overtightened lug nuts escape.

Also where do you get this C$1,000 for service 3? I have the list from my dealer and the MOST expensive service listed is C$ 445.90 that's service #3 at 96,000 Km
I'm really surprised at how reasonable Lexus service is compared to my MB.

Pls see Service 3, 24mth, $1000 cosy attached. BTW, still ahead with Indy Garage
Had you taken it to the dealer instead of your indy they may have pre-empted the problem. I'm not saying not to use an indy mechanic, but till the warranty runs out one's better off to use the dealer, at least one gets good will from him, that's what I do. I still compare each service between dealer & indy as I've found out that some services are cheaper at the dealer.

As attached, there are $1000 services every 2 years. My dealer is Lexus if Oakville, which dealer do you use that is so cheap?
I am still well ahead with my local professional mechanic.

I did my own oil change and changed all filters and wiper blades for under $50. I had tires rotated, balanced, and aligned at NTB with their 5yr wheel rotation, balance, and alignment program that sells for $190. This was over $400 at the dealer for 20k miles service. It Took me less than 30 minutes, which is less than the time it takes me to drive to the dealership.

The 1st service you circled #3 at my dealer is performed at 24months or 32,000Km $ 296
The 2nd you circled is #1 done at 30 months or 72,000 Km $ 72
I really think your dealer is squeezing you for all he can.

Took my 2017 RX350 in for its 25K service and front rotor pulse. In discussion with the SA he indicated that the rotor was probably warped because of my driving style (which is rather conservative since we were in a pretty serious rollover wreck four years ago), and that a resurfacing would not be covered under warranty. I call BS on that as they truly should've lasted more than 25K, no matter what my "driving style" was.

Do not drive with parking brake on is the best way to spare them. Remember that Toyota have the best brakes in the industry. Normally the pads it should last around 100,000 km in city/hw driving

I don't think you can drive with the parking brake on. I think it's applied and released electronically.

replace break pedals 36000km
rx350 2016, 36000kms, break vibrating when down hill or over 50km/h, dealer told me that the front break pedal only 1mm left, and rear 300. I was suggested the replace both pedals and machine rotors, will cost me almost $1000
1,is this normal? my previous Camry never had vibrating problem and I hadn't change the pedals until 80K.
2, dealer told me even I replace pedals and machine rotors, the vibrating will come back after a while. but he didn't say how long is " a while" only said : it depends.
thank you
