| Description of the problem | I have placed three sets of rotors on my 2004 dodge 1500 ram quad cab in 65,000 miles. First set warped at about 18,000 miles, the dealership turned them and charged me $90. 00. They in turn warped again at about 23,000 miles. Replaced them with waggner high performance rotors at about $110. 00 a piece. The rotors and pads lasted about 35,000 and the rotors were so warped, they couldn't be turned. Dealership is absolutly no help what so ever. They deny even having a problem. I told the service writer type in dodge brake problems and you'll get more than your share of info. He said he couldn't find anything. I've been driving chrysler products for over 40 years... This lemon has ended all that. |
