>There must be a communality problem with both GM and DC on brake issues.
Steve,
Its not just GM and DC, the Blue Oval boys are having problems too.
and its not the car companies fault either. Its called NAFTA. From what
I've heard, when former President Clinton got NAFTA approved in the early
90's, the big 3 US auto company suppliers found they could buy part blanks
cheaper from our friends south of the Rio Grande. Come to find out, the
reason they were so much cheaper was that acceptable, but inferior quality
raw materials were used. Hence, in this specific case, the brake rotor
blanks are made from lower quality steel and thus are more susceptible to
warping. It just took until the mid 90's for those parts to find there way
onto the production lines. And since the manufacture warranties the
vehicle, they cover it for the minimum amount of time possible. They also
try to determine if the problem is caused by the part itself. If they can
prove that's the problem, they go after the supplier and try to pass the
cost along to them.
