Brake Disc Rotor Problems of Oldsmobile Bravada

- the contact has a 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada and had to replace the brake rotors because they had pitted and corroded prematurely. The contact stated that he shouldn't have to replace the brake rotors so soon they should last approximately 100,000 miles. The contact has done research online and found on the NHTSA website similar vehicle that are having the same failure. Updated 2/27/2007 - the consumer contacted the manufacturer about being reimbursed for repairs. The representative indicated the corrosion/wear was normal wear and tear therefore he would not be reimbursed.

When the consumer applied the brakes, the pedal was hard to push down and received less braking power from the vehicle. The consumer was able to drive it to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that the brake pads and rotors needed replacement. Please fill in additional information.

SUV needed both front and rear rotors replaced do to rust on the back surface. Rotors were too thin to be cut. Vehicle is only 2 years old and has been driven only 27,000 miles.

Brake rotor failure after a little over 40,000 miles my brakes started pulsating and I had, at best, 60% of the normal braking power. Braking is so poor that abs won't activate even with full braking action. I removed the pads and rotors only to find that the rotors were disintegrating. Apparently, on many models including the 2000 Bravada such as mine, gm is using a bi-metal rotor. After 30,000 miles of braking the heat will eventually cause separation of the two metals and flaking of the surface of the rotor along with abnormal rusting and pitting on the rotor surface. I have read several reviews posted on edmunds. Com stating the same problem. Gm customer service denies any problem as well as any other complaints and is unwilling to fix it.

Vehicle had bad pulsation in brake pedal and whole vehicle vibrated when braking, dealer said front rotors were warped, replaced front rotors w/ 46,900 mi, still had small vibration and w/in 2 weeks pulsation started again and continued to get worse, took to another mechanic who said front rotors were warped again, back rotors are literally disintegrating. I have 132,000mi on my Nissan and have never had warped rotors or had rotors replaced so I know it's not my driving.

Front right tire separated from the vehicle while in motion. Two weeks ago brakes and rotors were changed. Mechanic stated there was a defect with the lugs: nuts. Please provide any further information.

Consumer noticed after the vehicle had been sitting for three weeks, the brake rotors corroded. The technician was unable to turn the rotors.
