| Description of the problem | Vehicle started out with front end vibrations driving home from the dealership. Brought in and they balanced tires. Problem came back, they then resurfaced the rotors, however the problem returned and they replaced 2 rotors when the vehicle was 1 year old. The problem has now returned. I brought the vehicle to the dealership for repair. I am being told that i need 4 new rotors and that the rotors are warped. This is a safety issue that is a manufacturers defect and is endangering our lives and others out there. The dealership only resurfaced the 2 front rotors. They are all still warped. My van is not yet 2 years old. Manufacturer does not want to acknowledge a default. I have never heard of changing the rotors on a vehicle every 6 months to a year. We do not want there to be a statistic of injuries or deaths caused by a manufacturers defective braking system that cannot be rectified. *nm |
