Consumer Description

THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT ROTORS BECOMING WARPED AFTER ABOUT 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES OF USE. I WENT TO THE DEALER TWICE UNDER WARRENTY AND BOTH TIMES THEY TURNED THE ROTERS. I HAVE SINCE REPLACED THE ROTERS AND BRAKE PADS THREE TIMES. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNUSUAL. I FEAR SOMEDAY THE BRAKING SYSTEM WILL COMPLETLY FAIL.
