problem #1

Sep 192006

TL 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 21,500 miles
Severe corrosion and grooving on rear brakes not caused by environmental conditions or normal wear (front brakes ok). Could lead to accident due to diminished braking capacity. Almost identical pattern on left and right rear rotors. Found during ~ 21K dealer service but was there to lesser extent at about 12-15K miles. Rotors and pads replaced to correct the problem. I have learned from other 2005 and newer TL's they have had a similar problem at a similar mileage. Digital photos and references to other owners can be provided.
