| Description of the problem | Before 10,000 miles, the front would vibrate when braking from highway speeds or going down steep hills. I had the rotors turned because they were warped. Within 3 months, the same thing happened again. The rotors were warped again. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the rotors. Within 3 months it did it again. I took it back to the dealership and they replaced the rotors again. I also replaced the brakes out of my pocket. It has been another 3 months and it is starting again. At a routine oil change and brake inspection, firestone says the rotors are warped and my brake pads are down to 25%. The vehicle is only 2 years old and has less than 30,000 miles on it. I have had 3 different sets of rotors put on this vehicle. *jb |
