Consumer Description

BOTH REAR ROTORS HAVE HEAVY CORROSION. INBOARD DISC PADS WORE TO METAL. OUT BOARD PADS HAVE OVER 1/4" LEFT ON THEM. EMERGENCY BRAKES HAVE STUCK AND WORE OUT. 42,000 MILES IS TOO EARLY TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY ROTORS WERE GROOVED AND THE BRAKES WORN OUT. THERE WAS NO INDICATION. DEARLERSHIP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT SAYING THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR. OTHER DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS NOT. GMC SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN HELPFUL.*AK
