| This vehicle has been driven less than 40,000 miles. it has been driven only on highways and city roads. it is kept in a garage where my other vehicle and previously own automobiles are kept. while it was being serviced, it was discovered that the inboard sides of the brake rotors were severely rusted to the extent that the adjacent brake pads were effectively destroyed. it was apparent that the condition would soon cause a major brake failure. consequently all four rotors and brake pads were replaced. the mechanic at the dealership indicated that around the time the vehicle was built the steel used in the rotors was changed. none of my other vehicles, all older, ford and gm models, all kept in the same garage, one with 105,000 miles, has shown this type of condition. i consider this premature rust build-up a serious safety hazard. | |||

| Tl* - the contact has a 2003 oldsmobile bravada and had to replace the brake rotors because they had pitted and corroded prematurely. the contact stated that he shouldn't have to replace the brake rotors so soon they should last approximately 100,000 miles. the contact has done research online and found on the nhtsa website similar vehicle that are having the same failure. *ak updated 2/27/2007 - the consumer contacted the manufacturer about being reimbursed for repairs. the representative indicated the corrosion/wear was normal wear and tear therefore he would not be reimbursed. *nm | |||
