Brakes need to be used. I rarely use my brakes. Last year I had to replace rotors, calipers and pads in the front because they rusted up ... from not being used enough.
When I'm going down a long hill in my taurus, I'll leave it in OD. If I start to slow down, I'll tap the gas for 1-2 seconds. Just long enough to bump my speed back up, but quick enough to avoid the torque converter locking up.
