The front right inner brake pad has been prematurely wearing compared to the other pads. Local Chevrolet dealer has been asked to adjust pads under warranty. Tech said that the vehicle can not be adjusted and that they are wearing within "normal" time. Brake pads are not lasting more than 7 months at a time due to inner pad wearing down to the metal backing while the other pads still have 3/4 of their life left. The front pads have been replaced approximately four times in three years. The front rotors had to be replaced twice in the same amount of time due to the same issue.
