It was just the front, the rears they say are just fine. I have been listening and I haven’t been hearing squeaking or anything, so I’ll get a second opinion for sure. We do have 6 months of winter here so there is a fair amount of breaking and when it’s not winter I like to drive sort of “fun” but like you all said, it seems excessive to have to do this on a rig that is only 3 years old.
Thanks for the advice.
Uhhmmm... need new brakes at 7100 miles??? Guess so...

So I drive to do short errands on the wet, snowy, slushy roads; brakes never get hot enough to "burn" it off; then get home and park it for a week or so... gives that brine time to work on that bare, exposed rotor... rust city... even in cold (slightly above freezing... not sure about below freezing) the chemical reaction takes place, even at a slower rate, it has time to do it's thing.
