Have a new Cayman S with 750 miles on it. Went to lunch today and had a warning message that came up stating that I had excessive brake pad wear and needed service.

I called the service department and they are guessing this could be a bad sensor, but will not be able to look at it until Wednesday. I was planning a road trip over the weekend. I asked the service department if he thought I could go anyway, he stated that while he is 95% sure it is nothing just can't recommend using the car until it is checked out. Ugh...

Have any of you heard of a similar problem with a brake sensor with so few miles?

Thanks in advance.

There is some interesting reading if you search for "brake pad sensor". Here are a couple: Brake pad warning light 5000 miles and Driving with brake wear indicator on, but plenty of pad? and I think there are seven or eight more that could prove useful.

I'm guessing you are fine and an inspection that you can do yourself should put your mind at ease. Look at the article on replacing pads and sensors for more technical help. http://www.caymanclub.net/reviews/sh...duct=34&cat=10

Good luck.

Thank you Santa Fe. I should have done a quick search to begin with. I just forgot to do so.
