When taken for inspection, the dealer informed the consumer that the vehicle needed new brakes and rotors. The rotors were slightly pulling away from the wheel. Consumer never had any signs of a safety defect prior to this. The cause was undetermined. The consumer stated when he placed the vehicle in park and turned off the engine, the automatic doors locks failed. When the consumer attempted to gain speed, the vehicle stalled, the dealer stated the injector was bad.

The rear brake rotors would rust/wear prematurely. The rotors have been replaced by the dealership 3 times, but the consumer was still having the same problems.....brakes make all kinds of weird noises at low speeds. It sounds like metal to metal. Three replacements of rear disc brakes.

My ABS chatters and it pushes hard and does not want to stop. I just had new rotors put on in may and in Oct I had new discs and rotors turned down..it is full of brake fluid. I have a warranty on it bumper to bumper and not sure if it covers it. I work construction out of town and need a reliable vehicle. I have to take it to my dealer to have it checked out yet. I haven't had the time due to working out of town. This should not be happening. What can I do?

The consumer took the vehicle through inspection and it was determined that the rotors had rusted. The rotors were turned instead of being replaced by the dealer. The consumer was driving the vehicle approximately 3 months later and the vehicle was hard to stop when the brakes were applied. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer again and it was discovered that the bearing and hub assembly was defective and it was replaced on the left side.

The consumer stated that both front brake rotors wore out prematurely at 25,000 miles, which caused the vehicle to vibrate when braking. The dealer agreed there was excessive wear on the brakes, but was unable to explain why.
- Duncan, OK, USA
Vehicle experienced brake failure, in which the brakes failed to stop the vehicle immediately when they were depressed. This resulted in extended stopping distance. This failure occurred because the brake rotors warped. The rotors were resurfaced, but the failure recurred within 15,000 miles.

Vehicle was going through a routine maintenance when dealer discovered that the right rear brake pad tore up the rotor.

Rotors are deteriorating after only two years.
- Chenango Bridge, NY, USA
The brake rotors wore out entirely too quickly. They were poor quality, and the metal rusted as if they were submerged in salt water for a year.

I purchased a new 2002 Chevy Silverado ext cab 4WD in November 2001. The truck currently has 48000 miles on it. The rear brakes have been completely rebuilt 3 times due to excess wear and failure. The dealership has paid for the repairs twice and split the cost once but has advised they will not pay for it anymore. The cause appears to be sticking which wears the pads out which in turn wear out the rotors. The calipers freeze up and require replacing. The parking brake is used regularly and works okay. After the last repair, the ABS chatters when coming to a stop on clear dry pavement, like a parking lot or stop sign.

Rear rotors shot after 10,000 miles. Would not pass inspection. Took back to dealer, they machined them down to nothing. Did not replace the rotors. These rotors from the factory must be defective. My mechanic said hes never seen rotors like this in 30 of working. So much for the 3 yr bumper to bumper warranty.
