Well, Because they figure you sell your car or truck before the brakes wear out....I have won and lost one this. I never sold my truck and had the brakes replaced once for the free pads but on my suv they screwed me and said the warranty ran out a year ago!I was mad and said hey I paid for a LIFETIME warranty on these pads and now your saying they have no warranty anymore .Well to make a long story short the gave me some money back............Bunch of bull crap!!!!!

from what i've heard coasting in neutral is illegal because you have less control of the car... but what cop will stop you for doing that?

I always coast in neutral when I know I have to stop-no matter how fast I'm going...What else are you supposed to do? downshift through each gear all the way to back to neutral? That would be a pain in the *** for me.
