| Description of the problem | The front rotors and the rear rotors turned black while operating the vehicle under normal highway driving conditions. The front and rear brakes pads are not worn where they required replacement. The rotors appear to be defective. I saved the rotors for inspection if you so desire to inspect them. Having been a automotive technichian in the past and a mechanic on nyc taxi cabs i have never witnesses this kind of wear and tear on a rotor. Having had fleets of police vehicles i have never seen a rotor wear like this either. Even police vehicles having been in pursuits have not worn out like this. |
