Took my '04 Forester XT-PP in for an oil change yesterday, and asked for a check of my brake discs due to some braking pulsation. Turns out all four needed "resurfacing." (Warranty took care of it.) They checked to see if brake line pressure was correct, and that the ABS is functioning OK. (I've never had it go on, to my knowledge.) Everything checked out according to specs.
Bottom line, I think they concluded I'm just hard on brakes. This is NOT how I'd characterize my driving. I don't race to stop lights. I don't tailgate and stomp on brakes frequently to avoid a rear-ender. I don't "ride" the brakes. And so on. I do drive a lot of stop-and-go in town. But, regardless of cause, this problem came up only about 3,000 miles ago (now at 21,500). If I'm so hard on brakes, why did I have about 14 months with no problems?
I'm puzzled and frustrated. Anyone else have a similar problem? Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks.
