Consumer Description

WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH, THERE IS A VIBRATION AT THE STEERING WHEEL. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE FRONT ROTORS SHOULD BE REFACED WHEN THE CAR NEEDS NEW BRAKE PADS. I HAVE HAD A 2006,2009, AND 2012 PILOT. MY DRIVING HABITS HAVE NOT CHANGED, THE MILEAGE PER YEAR IS CONSISTENT, AND THERE HAS BEEN NO HARD OR EXCESSIVE BRAKING. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER MODEL YEARS. SO, WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? ARE THE CURRENT ROTORS THINNER OR INFERIOR? *TR
