With less than 25,000 miles on this leased vehicle all four brake rotors were rusted to the point of deterioration and chipping. The rust was so thick and rough that it was grinding away the pads with stopping ability seriously diminished. One rear brake pad was ground down to the metal surface. The dealer would not warranty the rotors as brakes are considered normal vehicle maintenance. In fact , I was told by the service manager that an equinox was in his shop with the same problem. That vehicle's mileage was 19,000. The condition of these rotors was anything but normal, as though they were manufactured using a poor quality and /or porous material. On average vehicle rotors last up to 50,000 miles and through two sets of brake pads. My claim is that these severely rusted rotors are a safety issue due to the diminished stopping ability, compared to the smooth surface a rotor is intended to maintain.
