Consumer Description

ROTORS BECAME WARPED AT 19380 MILES AND 34087 MILES AND HAD TO BE TURNED DUE TO FLAT SPOTS ON THEM. THE ORIGINAL DISC PADS ARE STILL INUSE AND THERE WAS NO EXCESSIVE SLAMMING OF THE BRAKES OR SUDDEN STOPS INVOLVED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE THINNESS OF THE BACKING ON THE ROTOR HUB, A PROBLEM SIMILIAR TO THAT FOUND ON CERTIAN FORDS IN THE PAST. PROBLEM SHOULD BE CORRECTED AND OWNERS REIMBURSED FOR EXPENSES ALREADY INCURRED.*AK
