I have a 2020 Trail Boss with 34,500 miles. I recently got a message that said, "Service Brake Pad Monitor". I did a quick search, and it sounds like these have been known to go bad. I periodically scroll through the screens and the last time was about a month ago and it said my brake pads were ~70% for all. When I called the local dealership, the first thing he said was, "Yeah, it probably needs brake pads." I told him I doubted it with 34K miles and my last check, but set up an appt to have the brake pad monitor checked out. The dealership called me to inform me that it needed pads and rotors in the back and pads on the front!? I was shocked and honestly in disbelief!! There was never any pad squealing or rubbing, like the pads were worn down. The 34k miles I have on the truck are mainly highway. Does this sound legit? Do the brakes and rotors go with 34K miles?? The ONLY reason I took it to the dealership was thinking if there was an issue with the monitor that it would be covered under warranty. $1200 later and I think I got screwed!?!?
