I too experienced premature brake and rotor failure and had to replace both before the car was 2 years old. The dealership did nothing to satisfy me. I had to have them replaced right away and could not wait for an appointment with the dealership so I did just that. Later, when discussing it with a service advisor, I was told it was the traffic in my area. Yeah, sure. Just because I am a woman he expected me to buy into that? I had 20,000 +/- miles on the car at the time! I don't at this moment have exact mileage and date information on me.
