I'm not sure what is wrong with the pads in the photo? From what I can see, they seem to have a lot of pad left because they are no where near worn to the holes where the brake sensor plugs in.

Yes, they look a bit "cooked" but that is normal and my pads look exactly the same with the yellow almost completely burned off and they honestly look like they've been baking in a oven! (which I suppose is about what is happening).

Am I missing something like the pad material itself is disintegrating or deteriorating or crumbling? Could it be that they may have been simply overheated and lost friction until they cooled down?
