this is what the rotor on the 09 ls with 17000 miles looked like but not near as rusty

I have nearly 82,000 miles on my 06 HHR still with the original brakes and rotors. I had them checked and still have 50% left in the pads. Some must use a heavy braking technique to wear them out at 900-2000 miles. The 06 HHR does not have ABS brakes, I wonder if that has something to do with it?

After the way you send out blanket bulletins to deny warranty coverage for issues that are due to manufacturing and cheap chinese parts, you have lost my business.
I will buy a chrysler before I buy a GM vehicle again, but the worst part for you is the other people that I speak to and tell them of my experience with your company.
Case in point, My co-worker is considering a full size extended cab 4x4 Pick-up and i had a nice long chat with them at work last night and showed them your blanket bulletin.
They were narrowed down to a Silverado, F-150 and Nissan Titan
was it really worth $663 to lose a $30,000 sale?

Jeep has 60K now and needs and engine and a tranny. Come to think of it, probably needs u-joints all around, new axles, rust repair... The Firebird only left me stranded once in 98K. Pretty solid car.

Sorry, nurseman, not to bust on you but you have to use the right word to be taken seriously. There is not a single part on any car called a 'roder'. I read your post and even though you made a valid point, the use of the word 'roder' devalued your comments.
Like I tell my kids, words have meaning and they are often not interchangeable; i.e. to use a biblical reference, "thou shall not murder" (as written in the Bible) is NOT the same as "thou shall not kill" which is what the pacifists want you to believe is written. For fun, look up the Communist Russians definition of what they meant when they said they wanted "peace" ('all opposition to the spread of Communism would cease and then peace would be achieved' for those too lazy to look it up) and then compare it to the US definition; a BIG difference. See what I mean? Use the right word when called for.
