Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Chevrolet 1500

On 2002 chevy silverado 1500 w/only 25,500 miles, noticed a noise in rear brakes. When rotating tires, discovered both rotors were rusted and corroded, but with plenty of brake pad and thereby causing abnormal wear on brake pads. Took vehicle to local gm dealer for inspection by service personnel, who determined same problem, but would not provide good will repair. For obvious safety reasons, purchased replacement rotors and brake pads and completed repairs on our own. We have contacted gm to try to obtain refund of our costs, but not yet resolved the issue. Research indicates that gm is aware of this problem with brake rotors. Additionally the vehicle still experiences problem w/abs speed sensor requiring additional braking distance at slow speeds, but was not included in the first recall by gm. Previously reported this complaint.
