GerryAZ said:Did you measure rotor thickness? The LEAF has ceramic pads so I suspect the rotors will be close to minimum thickness by the time the pads are worn out. My experience on two SUVs with OEM ceramic pads was that pads and rotors on all four wheels were worn out at about 75k miles so I expected the LEAF brakes to last a lot longer. The light scoring is no concern (some debris probably got caught between pad and rotor).
estomax said:dude those brakes look fine and not that worn at all. are there noises or vibration coming from them? i would leave them be if not. you know if it aint broke...

Only because the life of the battery is so bad. With 5 bars gone the friction brakes are used a good amount all the time now due to an overly conservative regenerative braking profile, especially at higher speeds. The overly conservative regen braking profile also hurts efficiency a lot.estomax said:i guess i can see from an engineering point of view why they'd skip the wear sensors. the brakes last almost the life of the car
drees said:Only because the life of the battery is so bad...unless you do a lot of very aggressive braking, not just a measly 70k. My Prius has 100k miles on the original brakes. My last Subaru went 70k miles on the original brakes. An EV should at least match a hybrid, no?
