Rotors can get pitted due to several factors, including excessive heat, corrosion, and the presence of contaminants like dirt or debris that can embed in the brake pads. When brake pads wear down unevenly or when moisture accumulates on the rotor surface, it can lead to localized areas of wear and rust, resulting in pitting. Additionally, aggressive braking or using low-quality brake components can exacerbate the issue, leading to further deterioration of the rotor surface. Regular maintenance and quality brake components can help minimize pitting.
What else can I help you with?
Do pitted rotors need to be replaced?
depends how badly pitted---you can usually get away with having them turned
Are rusty brake rotors bad?
NO. The rotors will rust overnight if the conditions are right. The rust will be removed the first time the brakes are applied. Yes if the rust has pitted them. Just have them turned on a brake lathe.

Do you need new rotors when you get new brake pads on an Audi?
It depends on the amount of wear on the rotors. If they are grooved or pitted you will need to get them turned at a machine shop. Rotors have minimum thicknesses assigned by the engineers that designed them. So if they are too thin, or if turning them will make them too thin once they are flat, you will need to get new ones. To prevent a situation like this from happening make sure to get your pads changed when they require it. Usually they will start squealing from a small metal strip that comes off them designed for this purpose. If you let the pads go so long they start to grind against your rotors it's too late.

Why are your brakes pulsating when breaking at a high of 35mph or higher?
Warped or pitted rotors will cause this problem. Also, it could be a fault in the anti-lock system (ABS), although this would usually not be felt as a pulsation, but more of a rapid chatter. Better have your breaks checked by a qualified technician.
