Default Brake Pads

I drive about 110 miles a day to and from work. I have been changing my brake pads (front only) every 6 month. Is this normal ????

no that is not normal..
to drive so many miles per day it kind of tells me that it is mostly highway miles ....
lets say yoiu drive 110 miles a day x 25 days a month . i just split 30 days and 4 , 5 days week.. anyho it comes to 2750 miles per month x 6 =16,500 miles ,, that is way too little miles for a set of pads to need replacing ,,,,,
Now , on the other end if you do mostly stop and go driving than it is a different story,
when you replace the pads are you using Honda pads ??

Also,, as suggested by Wheel......, you should rotate the tires every 3 months ...

Wow ,, you need to have it checked out at the dealer , car is still totally under warranty ,,( unless you drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal )

8000 km is less than 5000 miles ( 4970.96 ) to be exact ..

Brake pads should last at least 30,000 miles ( 48,280 kim )
