No, why do you ask?Anyone ever had a rear brake pad break in half?
Are those deep groves in the rotor? Maybe the brake got stuck and super hot and then bonded when you stopped. I would definitely check the heat of the rotor after driving for awhile (touch lug nuts).View attachment 431719 Got the car back. Although they didn't have the broken pad still, I could see on the rotor and imprint where the pad somehow became bonded to the rotor. I took quite a bit of driving on low regen to wear that spot away. You can see it in the picture attached. Notice the dark spot in between one of the spokes and the silver finish of the rotor that you can see through the others. Still a mystery as to what caused this.
Car was driven into the body shop so I don't think it was ever towed...they did remove that wheel to repair that rear quarter panel, but I can't imagine them needing to tow the car around the lot. There are some grooves on the inside track section of the rotor and then the pad imprint with some deposited pad material. There was a bit of vibration with heavy braking when I first got it back, but that seems to have smoothed out now, so I'm guessing the new pad was able to scrape some of that deposited material off. I'll keep an eye on it. Do you think it's possible there's an issue with traction control where it is applying that brake when not needed? Or possible the collision impact to that wheel knocked the pad out of place? But I did drive for 2 months before taking it to the body shop and I'm sure I would have heard some scraping if that was the case, although I do drive with high regen.Are those deep groves in the rotor?

Or the car was towed with the rear wheels on the ground and the parking brake on.
