Mileage for 21+ Brake replacement

[BrokerThis]

Been hearing a squeaking that has gotten progressively louder over the past 3k miles. I thought was coming from the front but turned out to be the rear when the dealer looked at it. Life monitors show 50% front/ 70% rear

2022 denali dmax
35k miles

Anybody else needing to replace their pads/rotors unusually soon, esp for the rears? Dealer said they've seen this a handful of times already

Unless you are really ******* them, I'd say this is pretty early. I expect mine to go at least 60K plus. My last Grand Cherokee was at 90 K and the brakes were still good.
I can't really believe the monitors are that far off.... If they are then it deserves a good explanation, or an independent analysis.

Here is some intersting info:

Looks like they changed materials midway through 2022 MY production, to minimize noise...now going back because they wear too fast. For you mid 2022 MY into 2024...be aware.

Def have not been driving it like I stole it, nor slamming on the brakes consistently. Of course not covered under warrenty cause its a wear item, and they want $800 to replace the rear rotors/pads

Rear OE Rotors are $97 each
Rear OE Pad Set is $92
Rear Break Pad Wear Sensor is $28 (unclear if you need one or two)

So, Parts are $342 + Tax if you need two wear sensors.
Replace of Pads and Rotors on one of these rigs should be 1.5 hrs book, tops, @$160/hr = $240

$580-600 MAX...and that is a generous labor rate and time.

BTW, there is 15% off parts orders on GMC.com right now...ask if they will match that.

PLUS, GM has a $10/rotor and $10/pad set rebate going right now too...

So, are there better options in after market pads?

Our brakes don't squeak, have 30k miles, with like 2/3 towing, and the electronic wear indicator is about 85%. If i were to believe it, seems i will never have to change brakes...
