Hi all,
I wonder if you can help with a recurring brake problem. We have a 2015 85 Model S. Since we purchased it 4 years ago it has needed both front and rear disks replacing multiple times.
There is often a vibration through the pedal at light to medium pedal pressure. Never through the steering wheel. Which would indicate a rear disk issue. I understand about warped disks, overheated disks etc but given the type of driving we do, i can honestly say they are never used in anger especially with regen.
So are the vibrations simply down to surface rust from the brakes hardly ever being used? The problem is always resolved with new pads and disks or a skim of the old disk to clean the surface.
Does anyone else have this issue or are we just driving it too lightly and not using the brakes enough? Is there another issue i'm missing like a sticky caliper etc?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
James
