Poor brake system performance-have had rotors & drums resurfaced starting at 24,500 miles & at 33,000 miles . Now at ~36,000 miles the rotors & drums need to be replaced!this is my every day vehicle & is not a work truck.

There is abnormal brake rotor deteriation and rusting due to poor manufacturing or steel formulas which rust accerlerates and wears down the pads unevenly. I have worked on brakes on many autos and a few trucks I've owned over the last few decades and never have seen such rusting and surface flaking of the disk rotor on my vihicle. I had my dealer look at the rotors and they agreed it may be a bit excessive. I have to replace all four rotors due to poor quality and unrepairable rotors. The rotors look like they came off a 20 year old truck. . . . This is a safety and quality problem that should be looked into. Thank you.

Problem is still occurring. . . . This problem poses a serious hazard.

: the contact stated when the brakes were depressed there was a loud grinding noise. While the vehicle was being inspected, the dealership noticed the rotor had a 1" wide and 3" long gauge in the metal about â¼"deep. The contact determined this was due to porosity. The dealership informed the contact this was normal wear and tear on the rotors.

Brake failure.

My 2001 GMC sierra 4x4 pickup was designed with the rear brake calipers installed on the front of the rotors. Any road debris thrown-up by the front wheels causes the rear brakes to malfunction. The truck has 44600 miles on it. The front brake pads are in excellent shape. The rear pads, on the outside, are in excellent shape. The rear pads, on the inside, are worn to the metal. I complained about a noise in the rear end while it was under warranty. The rear brakes always hang when you stop, then make twin popping sounds when you start-off again. The problem was never found or fixed. This is not easy to detect and could lead to severe brake failure.

Rusting of rear brake rotors causing premature wear and replacement of brakes and rotors. The dealer and gm replaced the rotors under warranty while it cost me $269 to have the brakes replaced. My concern quality of metal on rotors not condusive with normal every day use. Are their specification to thickness and quality of metal for all manufactures? life expectancy?.
