In the last 6 years, I've had the disk brakes fail on my 'vette
FOUR times, each time costing about $1000 to repair (no, I don't
drive 100,000 miles a year, nor do I race the car.)  The problem
is the that the seals on the brakes rust out, and are extremely
expensive to replace.  (I don't normally drive the car much in winter,
in fact, since the last time I had the brakes done, I don't think
I've put more than a couple thousand of miles on the car since
I use another car for commutting).

Several questions: what's going on???  How can I prevent this from
reocurring??  I don't to get rid of the car, with the price of them
these days, it's the last one I'll ever own, unless I finally win
a lottery.  Is there a pertinent Hotline number at GM that I can
discuss this (boy, I wish they adopted ford's line, if they fix it
once, you never have to pay for it again!!!).  Oh well, all pertinent
replies appreciated.
