i got new breaks about a month ago. they're nothing special. the dealer put them on along with a lot of other stuff i had to get done to my car. so, like i said ive only had them for a month and they're already rusting. my mom bought a minivan from this same dealer a long time ago and she had 6 sets of breaks in 4 years or something rediculous like that. i wanted to know if this is too early for rust to start forming on the discs. i dont really trust this dealership so i wanted to get some more opinions.

 

Well bud, rust forms in a few days on rotors and brakes. It is quite normal to see brand new cars with rust on the rotors. My 2001 had rust on the rotors when i bought I thought nothing because i know it happens. Go down to your local dealership and look at some new Maximas I am sure alot of them will have rust around the brakes.

 

Totally agreeing with MONTE this is very normal, I would think its very rare that a car would not have this on the rotors, after sitting around for the night, or a whole day.

 

i figured it would happen sooner or later but when i went out to my car today it jummped out at me. we had about a months worth of rain yesterday so maybe that had something to do with it. i dont know. it doesnt look that great but if its normal then i guess ill get over it. thanks

 

Nothing to worry about, its just oxidation from sitting.

 

it hasnt moved since 7 o'clock friday night. will it ware off a little when i use the car?

 

Probably Not. Mine always look rusted. Yes I hate it, but there's nothing I can do about it

 

The contact area of the rotors will lose the rust when you drive it.

 

u spelt 'breaks' incorrectly ...

 

Like deezo said the rust on the contact area of the rotors will go away after normal driving. The only solution for non-rusting rotors is to get new cad plated rotors I just got mine from Fastbrakes and they haven't rusted yet even though it rained.

i realized that spelt was a word so i had to take it back.

 

what happened to the spelled spelt post? I was trying 2 reply 2 it & it disappeared?!?

 

**** .. as soon as u posted your orig post .. i ran 2 my websters dictionary! u almost had me! it's all good!

 

hah. i did the same thing. i had to check so i didnt look like a fool. i posted another post but it i think my cat somehow deleted it when she jumped on the keyboard. it just said that i went to go get a haircut and that short drive got rid of the rust. i guess it was just from sitting in the driveway for a day. so everything is alright now.
