Hello, I'm hoping this is the place to ask this so I'll give it a shot instead of starting a new thread.
I've also noticed the mushy brakes feeling, especially after a few days of driving a Highlander. Like others have already said, my Edge seems to have a lot of "give" or "softness" between applying the brake and actually stopping.
My question is about brake pad wear - I just had my car serviced and was told the brakes are still "fine", but looking at the service history I'm confused by how the pads seem to be wearing. This is the recent mileage vs. brake measurement history:
41,000 miles -- all brakes @ 10/32
45,000 miles -- L/F and R/F @ 10/32, L/R and R/R at 5/32
51,000 miles -- all brakes @ 7/32 (this was today)
I'm a total-confessing noob at this, but what I'm wondering is how did my rear brake pads get thicker in the last 6k miles? Is this a measurement error or just something that happens? (Like I said, I don't know enough to know if this is a stupid question or not). I've got a 2008 SE, 2wd, and just put 17" Latitude Tours on in the last 1,000 miles.
In any case, I've still got mushy brakes. I read through most of the forums - has anyone tried the SS lines on their Edge (vs. on other vehicles)?
