I have less than 50,000 miles and i am on my 3rd set of rotors. The last set lasted less than a year. I don't understand why this is happening.

Rotor
The vehicle has the brake system for a 15 inch rim, however vehicle came stocked with 16 inch rims which requires a larger 16 inch rotor, the consumer requests that the dealer provide the vehicle with the appropriate rotor because the vehicle has experienced poor braking and premature wear of the brakes.
