Problem with rotors. They had rotors replaced because they were making some noises. Contacted dealer ,and dealer was not willing to do anything.
Rotors and pads required replacing at 17000 miles. Dealer claims rotors are manufactured thin and road salt in our area corrodes them prematurely. I had to pay $360. To have them replaced, not covered under waranty.
Rotor is rusting and covered with corrosion. This causes pads to wear out extremely fast.
