My 2014 SS is at 9,000 miles with very little pad wear and rotors are perfect.
Didn't want to hijack this thread ... real curious ... could you plz provide some details about your SS?
How many miles are you driving in the 4 months?
Why are the rotors being replaced (e.g. warping, scoring, or too thin)?
What pads are on the caliper (OEM or ceramic, or other aftermarket)?
Are the pistons binding up and pads dragging?
Could one of the drivers be riding the brake?

I drive 40 miles per day to/from work.. Car has 27k miles... OEM pads/Rotors.. Got my 3rd set put on 2 months ago & the vibration on pedal is already coming back.

Really? You don't like it because of the stripes and tail lights? LOL

No offense intended, but do you happen to be one of those folks who drives with their foot always ever-so-lightly on the brake pedal?

If not, something is out of whack. And there's no way your dealer should refuse to continue addressing a reoccurring issue. Especially a safety issue. Might be time for GM Corporate to get involved. I think you may have a lemon - it happens.

Classic feel of a left foot braker indeed. I wouldn't know how else you could go through pads that quickly. If it was a mechanical issue, it should be very obvious.

Here is a new update from the weekend. Still loving the 14 rear!

Adrian97c · 09-21-2015, 08:15 AM

I go as far as putting car in neutral at stop lights & let completely off of brake to avoid transfer.. I don't late stop nor do I glide with foot on pedal. They have measured hubs, etc. all is to spec according to them.. Crazy I know! I will try aftermarket rotors next.. If they only last 3 months also, then I'm going to trade for a challenger. Sucks

Man I had the same problem when I bought mine and took it back to the dealer and they redone all of them all way around and I have not had no problems since then 2 years ago, no way I get rid of a Camaro SS for a dam Dodge , they suck!!!!!!!!

I know I'm bias but I also like the 2014-2015 rear lights better then the 2010 -2013.

The new design is what drew me away from buying a new Mustang.

Just my 2 cents.

Well lets put a fork in it! it's done!Let me say this;now we must pass the flag to the 6gen.camaros,they changed again and some people love them-I don"t yet would like to see one in person,but you hate your camaro because of the taillights?then why did you buy it?I love the 5 gens.I have a 2014 and love my taillights!I say just relax and enjoy what you have for now-the 2016 will get tweaked over the next years=Don't think so?Woder what the 2020 camaro will look like?

MikosV6 · 11-18-2015, 04:29 PM

When the 14's came out, I absolutely hated the new rear tailight design. However, I did love the new sleeker front grill/bumper. One year later, I started to like the new tailight design and then started to dislike the original '10-'13 tailight design. Now, I think the '10-'13 tailights look absolutely hideous.

I think what the new '14+ tailight redesign did was to visually lower and widen the backend of the car which is good.

I know the new 6th gens will grow on me. However, I don't know if I will ever like them better than the '14/'15 5th gens.

mos def. I didn't even realize how much that was needed until I saw the new (RS, specifically) tail lights. Now I'm jealous.

I personally love the rear tail lights. When they first came out I did not like them but it grew on me.
