Tomorrow, I'm going in for an oil change and tire rotation. I'm gonna make sure they take a look at the rotors. I did ask about it, and they told me that in the last 2 weeks, 3 have come in and needed rotors resurfaced.

 

I had the complete opposite. I had to replace the rotors on my 96 excab at 110K, admitted, they needed it then. The only other vehicle I have had to replace rotors on was a 95 Odyssey, and did those at under 100K, but the new ones (all 4) warped within 10K. I was pissed.

Chevys -2, (1996, 2006)
Fords - 3, (1966, 1979, 1989)
Hondas - 4, (1988, 1994, 1995, 1999)
Mazdas - 3, (1976, 1980, 2003)

One of the Fords was a 1979 Mustang, I sold that after driving it for 13 years I sold it in 1993, still had the stock rotors on it.

So who knows.

 

I guess it is a crap shoot. I suppose like anything there can be good ones and bad ones and depending on who supplies what to what company, could be good ones or less good ones on your vehicle irrespective of brand.

 

I had to have rotors turned on my 2006 HHR at 21,500 miles. It probably really needed it at 19,500 miles.

I tried to get the dealer to replace them. They wouldn't do it. I filled out a satisifaction survey and I received a phone call about my rotors. But after
about a total of 2 hours on the phone and talking to 3 people they basically said I can trade my car in and never buy another GM product if that's what I wanted to do.

I'm 43, been driving since I was 16 and had my tires rotated at the same place that whole time and NEVER had to have rotors turned on any vehicle until now. My work commute is 24 miles one-way part city, part highway in stop and go traffic and part highway as fast as I dare.

I think the rotors on this car are crap. And I think GM knows it and has decided to pass the cost on to the customer to fix their problem. I still have about 12,000 of the original 3/36 warrnty left but they still won't replace the rotors.

Sound familier?
