I do believe that they can eventually get ceramic brakes right and when they do they will be an improvement. They just aren't there yet and shouldn't be selling a system which is, in my opinion, dangerous.
I am in the USA now. I dropped my car off at the dealer on Tuesday just before I left Belgium. I was able to demonstrate to the dealer pretty effectively all of the handling, noise and brake problems. I suspect that a lot of it is that my car has now seen 51,000 relatively tough kilometers. This is more than most. So I wonder if I am seeing issues that others will not see until their warranties have expired?
The brakes have got so bad now that they are pulling hard one way or the other when they get warmed up. I suspect that the reason might be that they are grabbing at different rates because the various pads and rotors are heating up at different rates due to the different friction levels. The pads are certainly wearing at different rates. The various surfaces all look quite different.
I have lately found myself frequently bent over examining GT2 brake rotors. I saw one GT2 on Tuesday which had 5,000 km on it. In my opinion, these rotors showed the early stages of the defects my rotors have. A few days previously I saw another GT2 which appeared to have much more wear on the brakes. But in this case the rotors did not show the same defect even though they had much more wear on them. Either the rotors are different or it is a matter of driving style.
My big worry now is that they will keep fixing the problem until the warranty expires and then leave me holding a system which really doesn't work and which I am now responsible for fixing at extravagant cost.
