2 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 02/05/2003

I drive a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I have had to have my rotors replaced twice and a complete brake job done all before my factory warranty is up. I have been told this is not a safety issue and that rotors are a wearable item. I am concerned that this will be a continual problem with repeat trips to the dealership to replace what appears to be a defective part and it's continual use as a replacement part. 90% of my driving is interstate driving and the fear of braking irregularities or effectiveness is frightening to me. Something needs to be done to prevent this problem--not just cover it up.
