Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: State safety inspection mechanic noted that both front brake rotors were deeply rusted and/or pitted and should be inspected by a gm service center. the service representative at dagley chevrolet geo informed that both front brake rotors were rusted and pitted so deep that they could not be re-surfaced, they need to be replaced and the replacement would not be covered by gm. i looked at the rotors myself and find that the inside brake rotor friction surfaces are rusted or pitted away, aprox. 1/3 or less of the front inside brake pads are actualy making contact with the rotor surface. in my opinion, this results in a very significant loss of braking efficency.
