Both front rotors had severe rust/corrosion on the inner surface. Vehicle has 56,000 miles on it and was due for the first pad replacement. Rotors required replacement due to the depth of rust damage. Rust was not visible on the outside surface. I was not aware of the situation or the change in braking distances until the new rotors were installed. The new braking conditions is noticably improved. I have possession of both rotors and pads that were replaced. Repair was performed at a local Ford dealership. This vehicle has been continually driven and the rust/corrosion is not typical buildup from a lack of operation of the vehicle.

Brake rotor vibration-have had rotors turned twice with first time listed above and second in July/2001 with approx 40000miles. Is this warping normal with this mileage? mostly driven on highway with some city miles. No other vehicle I've owned has required such frequent maintenance on the rotors.

Right rear rotor is completely scored and needs replacement after only 6mths and 19000 miles of highway driving. Manufaturer states this is normal wear. Does this mean I have to replace rotors every 6 months of driving?
