Zack (sp?) at Warrenton NTB called during service stating that front rotors are completely rusted. About a half inch thick [not sure if the rotor thickness or the rust]. Stated replacement would cost $295 [$299 on invoice].

Driver front tire was 30.5 psi and driver rear was 30.0 psi; both were in the shade. All low tires were filled to 31 psi per the pump pressure gauge which reads 2 psi low.

Low tire pressure indicator light was on. Passenger rear tire pressure was 20.5 psi while other three tires were ~24.5 or 27.5 psi. All tires made to be 32.5 psi per gauge on inflator pump. This note was created a few days later so do not recall exact pressure of other three tires, however they were all the same. Tires were last filled in warmer mid-Atlantic. This incident occured in Maine where it was much cooler.
