Does this all seem right? Edited story -----
We didn't have time yesterday to pull the wheels but we did today. Pulled the drivers side wheel and the inner and outer pad was nice and thick. Put the wheel back on and my neighbor says we are at it lets pull the right side wheel. Outer pad was nice and thick but inner was shot. So now there is a bigger problem than needing pads. In my State at annual inspection they pull one wheel in the front and then the opposite in the rear. So if the inspector had pulled the left front everything would have looked fine and nobody would have known there was a problem. So now this comes down to was this happening from day one, from the day I bought the car and when it went through the CPO inspection. On the CPO inspection sheet there no place for measurements of inner and outer pads. Even on his current State inspection it says Front Brake Pad(s ) 2/32. Hm? Wouldn't that wouldn't be one pad and not pads. Again something doesn't seem right about all this on a CPO car.
Something makes me think that this was an issue from day one of ownership but I will be eating the cost of a new caliper. Our Honda SUV has over 115,000 miles on it, we've had it for four years, it wasn't a CPO car but did have the 150 point inspection done on it. In the four years we've owned it, driving to Florida and back up to the north east States we've spent $220 on repairs and that was just recently for new front brakes. I'm also getting the low battery warning and Sirius radio hunting again. The Volvo needed a new Air conditioning control unit (luckily warranty) or it would have been $1,000. January 2020 the low battery problem was fixed by a radio software update do I need another update? So in the 1.5 years and on a 31,000 mile car we are looking at a caliper problem.
Looking at what has transpired in the past 1.5 years on a low mileage car, I'm not really impressed. We normally keep our cars for a while but if what I've seen so far on this V60 is any indication Honda may find another customer.
