>There is no way that braking full force will cause it to take longer to slow down unless your tires skid. That's exactly what happened. Because of the way the rotors were worn my brakes would only catch on every few inches of rotor surface which would cause the tires to hop across the road. It was like braking on patchy ice. >What does "skipped 1/4 of the way" mean? I was 1/4 of the way into the intersection by the time I stopped. >What does "50% of the rotor surface was gone in large patches" mean? Have you ever seen a brake rotor? Are you implying you had big holes in your rotor? The rotor does not have a special surface, it's just bare metal. The only way the surface could be gone is if you have a hole in it. I don't know much about cars so I don't know how to describe it in the correct terms. I saw the rotors, on both of them 50% of the surface was smooth and gray and 50% of it was pitted and black. The pitted sections were lower than the smooth sections so I don't think the brake pads would actually grab on them.
