Service Brakes · reported Jul 9, 2019

My vehicle has 21k miles 2017 bought new and the front rotors need to be replaced. I drive local, and I AM being told hard stops on brakes will overheat the rotors. I do not drive at 90mph then jam on the brakes. I do not drive at highway speeds, cannot drive after dusk. I believe the rotors are defective. I notice when I drive 10 miles and back the rotors are to hot to touch, they are overheating. I called toyota USA and they will do nothing for me. I should not be replacing rotors at 21k miles. I had a 2008 yaris and drove that car for 5.5 years and I never replaced rotors.
