Default It's worth a shot.

Funny thing, my symptoms were exactly the same as yours.

Default It will go out eventually.

Take it in and ask for them to check it out, tell them you know about the TSB.

Default You got lucky. At my 25,000 mile I needed front brake pads and they made me pay for em

Brakes are not included in scheduled maintenance for 06's past 12/12.

Default Funny, during part of my service writers overview of the work performed

they said my front brakes were at 37% pad remaining. They failed to mention that the pads and rotors were aftermarket, and for that matter, how did they know the overall thickness of the pads to begin with?

Default Scheduled Maintenance

The 06s were scheduled at 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45,000 miles, those would be the free services included in the Warranty. 06 also marked the year that the Break pads were only covered for 24 months or 25,000 miles which ever came first.

The service manual included in the owners packet, details all of the components of the interval services...
