Consumer Description

ORIGINAL ROTORS FAILED AFTER 17K MI. (VAN STARTED VIBRATING DURING BRAKING ) DEALER REPLACED ROTORS. REPLACEMENTS STARTED TO VIBRATE SEVERELY AFTER 17,000 MILES. DEALER SAID THEY ARE PITTED ON THE INSIDE, MUST BE REPLACED TO STOP THE VIBRATION BUT THEY ARE SAFE TO DRIVE. THE VIBRATION MAKES ME QUESTION THEIR SAFETY.
