| Description of the problem | Purchase new car dec 2003, car vibrated while braking and making a rubbing noise when turning, this was at 11,000 miles, rotors were turned and then problem started again and the rotor were turned a second time. The rotors were turned a third time when the noise returned the fourth visit the rotors were replaced after much protest by the dealership. Now the problem is back again the noise has returned.. Do you have any information regarding a defect with the rotors, struts, or brake pads.. The brake pads were also replaced after i insisted that they were replaced. The dealership continues to say that the rotors get hot and can warp when you hit water on the road, surely the rotors should not have to be replaced after a year of normal wear. I also have a 1997 toyota 4 runner and a 95 4-runner and have never had to replace the rotors. Please advise. *nm |
