Consumer Description

AT AROUND 14,000 MILES THE DEALER TOLD ME THE ROTORS HAD WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED. AGAIN AT ABOUT 22,000 I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS HAD WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE TURNED. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS DUE TO HEAVY BRAKING, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR RIDING THE BRAKES. I HAVE ANOTHER CAR WITH OVER 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ROTORS HAVE NEVER NEEDED TO BE TURNED, MY DRIVING HABITS NOT THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. SUBARU HAS NOT GOTTEN BACK TO ME IN OVER 2 MONTHS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR
