Vehicle just turned twenty five thousand miles and needed brakes and rotors. While driving there was pulsation, and difficult stopping. Took vehilce to the dealer. They wanted to charge consumer $800 for repairs.

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 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.

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.
