rear pads 38000 miles c-230 2002
I picked up my car from the dealer for some warranty repairs, and they said while it was in, the brake lining warning came on, and it needs rear pads, it does not seem normal for rear pads to wear out before the fronts, my brake lining warning is still on I have not fixed it yet, I did not think a sensor was on rear pads am I wrong

When operating the vehicle, have you ever noticed the ! dash indicator illuminate when in decreased traction conditions?
Under those circumstances, the traction control is actuating rear brakes to maintain stability and increasing pad wear.

no the traction control has not really come on hardly at all, any reason the rear brakes would were out before the fronts, I am very suspicious that the brake wear is a result of something wrong, not just wear and tear, the sensor came on at the dealership when they where performing other service.

thanks for the help, it has been a while since I have done brake work, I think I might check them out myself, it is cold here so I am not looking forward to it.
