The problem was noticed because the abs light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a service dealer for replacement of the brake rotors and pads on both occasions. The rust first appeared near the axel of the rotor and worked its way toward the outside. The rust was only present on the braking surface.
I had to have all the rotors and pads replaced on the rear of my 2000 silverado with less then 8000 miles due to all component's rusting out.
I own a 2000 chevy silverado ext. Cab. I'm retired and drive the truck about 1000 miles a year or so. In January 2004 to pass the new york state inspection I needed to have the entire rear axle brake assembly from the axle bearing's out replaced. At the time I had between 6000 and 7000 miles on the truck. The cost was almost $800. 00 now on may 4 2012 with 23,400 miles on the truck, I needed to have the front brake rotors and pads replaced, cost approximately $400. 00! I had both repairs done by a qualified ace mechanic, who also is a friend of the family so he can be trusted! I also want to add there is not a speck of rust on any of the body panels, and the under carriage is rinsed frequently. This truck is well taken care of.
