Brake pads OEM Nissan or OEM Volkswagen

Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.

Brake inspection during the tire rotation, replace as needed (haven't needed to yet thanks to regenerative braking - I'm at 62k and I think I have OEM brakes).

Make certain your kiddo has GOOD brakes and tires.

Here's my side-badged 15 Fit.

With a 20% off coupon, it was only $40 more than the other shop, and I got OEM parts. That was almost 3 years ago, and the brakes are still stopping smooth.

The rear brakes did fail earlier than I would've hoped at 26,000 miles, but this is a known issue.

That said, I have a '22 SE that has 53,000 miles. The rear brake pads failed at 23,000 miles.

I’ve clocked 14k, and yes, I’ve already finished off my brake pads. Truth be told, I don’t really expect them to last longer since I drive quite aggressively. Now, the OEM pads cost roughly around 6k with labor. Honestly, I don’t think they’re worthwhile, as the braking feels noisy and lacks bite.

Had to get all brake pads done 22k miles in. Brake still makes a sound when released could be bushings but not a major enough issue yet to replace.

OEM VW brakes are crap.
