Consumer Description

BRAKE ROTORS HAVE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES BEFORE THE CAR HAD 47000 MILES. AN UPGRADE OF THE EQUIPMENT WAS PURCHASED WITH "LARGER BRAKE ROTORS" FROM FACTORY WHICH ARE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS STATED THAT THIS TYPE OF ROTOR WARPAGE (10000-15000 MILES) IS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR". THE LATEST DIAGNOSIS IS THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND ARE TOO THIN TO TURN. THESE ROTORS WERE JUST REPLACED AT 29543 MILES. THE MAIN DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE DRIVES MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING, SO THE DRIVER'S HABITS SHOULD NOT CAUSE THIS PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO FIX PROBLEM AND REPLACE ROTORS, STATING THAT THIS IS A GENERAL MAINTENANCE ITEM (SIMILAR TO REPLACING BRAKE PADS). THE "SHUDDERING" THAT IS PRODUCED BY THE DEFECTIVE ROTORS IS VERY DISTRACTING. AS THIS IS AN ITEM CONNECTED WITH BRAKING, IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN TO THE MANUFACTURER AS WELL.*AK
