An essential part of your braking system, your Chevrolet Avalanche brake rotors are the surface that your brake pads rub against to slow and stop your vehicle. When you press the brake pedal, your calipers push your brake pads into your Chevrolet Avalanche brake rotors, which also serve to help dissipate the heat produced as the friction created by the pads pressed against the turning rotors slows and stops the vehicle. The condition of the surface of your Chevrolet Avalanche brake rotors, as well as that of the rotors themselves, has quite a bit to do with the smoothness of your stop, and a lack of smoothness in slowing and stopping is one of the signs that you may have a problem with your rotors.

One common problem that you may eventually experience with your brake rotors is damage to the surface, such as pitting, scratches or grooves. Often, pitting of the surface of your brake rotors is caused by corrosion.

Sometimes scratches and grooves on the surface of your brake rotors are caused by a failure to replace your brake pads soon enough, as when they wear too thin, the metal beneath can be exposed, and when the calipers do their work, that metal can scratch and groove the rotors. Damage to the rotors themselves can be caused by the rotors getting so dirty that they are no longer able to dissipate heat properly, and that excess of heat can cause your brake rotors to warp or even to crack.
