My mother's dodge durango had a problem with cracking rotors, probably because the terrain is fairly mountainous for a bit with some steep grades to heat brakes up. Finally my dad ordered some crossdrilled rotors that are gold in color (powerstop comes to mind, but im not sure). The crossdrilled rotors are far, far better and have already payed for themselves twice over in the price of new factory rotors. Whether this is due to better rotor material or the actual crossdrilling, i do not know.
