I took my Saturn in for routine maintenence and requested they check my brakes. Upon inspection they found both front rotors with many cracks. The bearings nor spindle were replaced, and brakes were fine. I suspect manufacture defect. They said possibly I could have been on long trip which would heat up rotors and driven thru puddle of water which could have cause steel rotors to crack. Luckily I caught this in time before an accident could have occurred.
