State safety inspection mechanic noted that both front brake rotors were deeply rusted and/or pitted and should be inspected by a gm service center. The service representative at dagley Chevrolet Geo informed that both front brake rotors were rusted and pitted so deep that they could not be re-surfaced, they need to be replaced and the replacement would not be covered by gm. I looked at the rotors myself and find that the inside brake rotor friction surfaces are rusted or pitted away, aprox. 1/3 or less of the front inside brake pads are actualy making contact with the rotor surface. In my opinion, this results in a very significant loss of braking efficency.

Dealer told consumer to throw away front wheel rotors because the were too thin to grind. Nlm.

The defective rotors are out of round and warped, but the brake pads are in good condition, which may cause extended stopping distance and an accident. Dealer cannot determine problem. Cause unknown. Please provide details.

Noticed that back rotors had deep grooves in them at apx 16,000 mi. Reported to dealer, said it was normal. . I've had cars with more that never even had rotors turned down, anyway, they replaced 4 brake pads,said they were gone & turned rotors down, cost me 334. 00 I feel it should be covered under warranty, this also happened to a friends car said it was covered under warranty, he told me to check my rotors, thats when I noticed the deep grooves. He has same style car (montecarlo,apx same mileage)the dealer said this is normal!!!!!!!!!! I don't think so. Got no where with gm they'll say & believe what diamond chev tells them. . Like I said, my friends dealer, knight chevy in southbridge MA , said it was under warranty!.
