Both front brake pads did not wear in as they should have. Only the inner 1/2 inch of the outer pad appears to have seated against the rotor, not the full width of the pad. The pads and rotors were replaced but the problem has reappeared on the new parts exactly like the first set. The left and right front brakes have the same problem, it's not just one side. An unusual noise sometimes occurs when coming to a stop. Braking distance is compromised.
