Just to follow up, Lexus replaced the pads and rotors at no cost. A different Lexus store did the work.

It is not an issue of not knowing how to do it. I have done frame off restorations of a few cars (Currently a 64 Datsun 1500), it is the issue of I bought a Cpo car for a reason, so I would not have huge repair bills right away. I am finding out, that is not the case. I have contacted the GM of the store, and got the "I will look into it and call in a few days" routine. There has to be somebody in charge of the certified program at Lexus, how do I contact them? Thanks for all of the help so far, it reinforces the idea that I am not the crazy one :)

I asked them to see the records from the certification process, so I would know how the pads were at 55K miles. They are telling me my file is missing, so they don't have that info. At this point they can't really tell me the condition of the truck when it was certified. Any suggestions?

I have not done the brakes yet. They quoted $750 for pads and turning the rotors. My Brother owns a shop and his cost is $300 for new pads and new rotors, I figure I will go there next weekend and do it myself. I was just shocked that it needed to be done already

I bought a 2001 Lx470 with 55K miles on it last year. A few months later it needed the 60K service, which I paid for. Now at 64K miles it needs a drive belt @$155 and new brakes @$750. Does this seem right? Wouldn't the certification have at least cought the drive belt wearing down? Looking at the records the brakes were done at 36K miles. I know the brakes need to be at least half to be certified, so what they are telling me is they did not go down more than 1/2 from 36 to 55K miles, but went down more than 1/2 in the remaining 9K miles. My issue is, in 9K miles I will have spent $2200 in maintenence, what was the purpose of the CPO? Is there a chance they fudged the certification?
