Consumer Description

AT 25,000 MILES MY BRAKE PADS ARE CRUMBLING AND THE ROTOR ARE SCORED AND POCK MARKED .. I DRIVE THE CAR IN L MODE EXCLUSIVELY AND I DON'T USE THE BRAKES. ED SHUTS CHEVY CADILLAC SAYS THE BRAKES ARE WARRANTED. I SAY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THEY SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT OR CRUMBLE IF I DON'T USE THEM ON A 2 YEAR OLD CAR.
