Of course with this ongoing problem, I now try to avoid all hard stops, but sometimes it is unavoidable. That may be the problem, though. A hard stop in rush-hour traffic that you're stuck in. I also have ABS brakes, which I thought you were not supposed to pump, but keep them engaged. Frankly, I think I'd rather go buy a Toyota than pull over to park and let the brakes cool. This isn't a Model T! I'm not criticizing you....just think a car should be designed better. My Nissan, which I had for 11 years with 140,000 miles on it was driven in the same conditions and I never had this problem.

Uneven deposits is certainly a possibility. I live in the country and it's quite dusty. I can see rust on the brake cylinders (?). Thanks. I will pursure your suggestion with the Subaru dealer.

I doubt that I've ever driven through water while the weather is extremely hot because it doesn't rain here in the summer. In the winter, I drive through water. I went back and checked the repair records; first time was in March, second time last November. Not summer months as I thought. Yes, I'm concerned about having good brakes after the third grinding!

I bought my 2002 Forester brand new. It now has 31,000 miles on it. The rotors on the brakes have warped twice and been ground (or whatever). It's time to do it again. The service dept. is telling me it's my problem, that I must brake too hard. I've been driving for 37 years and have never had this problem before. It seems to start up again in the summer, when the weather's in the 100s and I've been on a long drive of start and stop driving. I do mostly flat driving -- no mountains. If I have to make a panic stop, it's guaranteed to warp the rotors again. This is my first Subaru. Is this a common problem? Of course the rotors are not a warranty item. Would I be out of place suggesting that they replace them under warranty anyway?
