Description of the problem | At 2 years, after 19,000 miles of normal suburban driving, loud grating and clunking noises and repetitive vibrations came from the brakes when driving at a low speed [3-5 mph] and became louder when brakes applied. Dealer said rotors severely rusted and had to be replaced [oem] for $1,000. Said resurfacing could not be done due to severity of rust. 30 days later same thing happened. Again all four brake rotors were replaced [oem]. Now 12 months later again have rusty brake rotors with harsh grating and clunking noises. Car is routinely parked in large garage in high-rise apartment building more than 99% of nights. This makes three full sets of four rotors after 19,000 miles. Dealer asks if i park in damp location, but the second floor garage is never damp and not near window. Dealer says he has no idea; maybe chinese use bogus materials. But these are honda oem. Brake rotors should certainly last more than 19,000 miles [first episode] and three full sets should last more than 28,000 miles and 38 months. Brake rotors that rust so quickly when not abused and are so damaged that resurfacing is not even possible must surely be considered a significant safety issue. If the rotors become this thin this fast, the brakes may very well fracture during emergency braking. |
