Consumer Description

FRONT ROTORS REQUIRE RESURFACING EVERY 3000 TO 5000 MILES. CAR WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 24,000 MILES. FRONT ROTORS HAD TO BE RESURFACED SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND AGAIN 4000 MILE LATER. LOCAL DEALER (NOT ONE LISTED ABOVE) WAS QUESTIONED ON CAUSE AND IF ANY RECALLS WERE IN EFFECT. DEALER HAD NO CAUSE AND SUGGESTED THE ROTORS BE REPLACED. ROTORS WERE REPLACED WITH AFTER MARKET COMPONENTS AT APPROXIMATLY 39,000 MILES. THE ROTORS NOW REQUIRE RESURFACING TO ELIMINATE PULSATING BRAKES. I'M FRUSTRATED WITH THE COST AND TIME I HAVE TO INVEST. I'M ALSO CONCERNED THAT OTHERS MAY NOT HAVE THEIR BRAKES REPAIRED AND BE LEFT WITH INEFFECTIVE BRAKES.
