Your Chevrolet Lumina brake rotors are an essential part of your braking system, having a great deal to do with your ability to come to a smooth and reliable stop. Your rotors serve as the surface against which your calipers press your brake pads, with the resulting pressure and friction serving to slow and stop your vehicle. Your rotors also serve to help dissipate the heat produced by the braking process, a great deal of which is created by that friction.

Wear or damage to your Chevrolet Lumina brake rotors is going to interfere with the smoothness of your stop, and the jittering, stuttering type of stop that is produced by rotors that are pitted, scratched, grooved, cracked or warped is more than uncomfortable, it also can result in a reduction of vehicle control. One avoidable cause of scratching or grooving of the brake rotors is the failure to replace worn brake pads as soon as they should be, as when the pads get too thin, the metal below can be exposed.

The calipers will continue their action of pushing the pads into the brake rotors, regardless of the condition of the pads, allowing the metal to dig into the brake rotors. Warping or cracking of the rotors can be caused by the rotors becoming too dirty or corroded to dissipate heat sufficiently, and when the rotors become too hot, you may notice brake fading, or difficulty in holding a stop. Generally, a rhythmic scraping or grinding type of noise is an indication of a brake rotor that is warped.
