SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND RIGHT AROUND 17K MILES FRONT END BEGAN TO SHAKE WHEN I BRAKED AT 70 TO SLOW DOWN IT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE SO I TOOK IT IN AROUN 20K MILES ROTARS WERE WARPED THEY TURNED THEN I SAID OK IT IS VERY EARLY FOR THESE ROTORS TO GET WARPED SO EARLY BUT DEALER OFFERED NO EXPLANATION. NOW AT 30000 I AM BACK IN FOR THE SAME REASON THE CAR VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS IF I BREAK TO STOP MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AT 20K MILES. I ALSO HAVE THIS GRAONING NOISE COMING FROM MY BRAKES WHEN I BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS THE NOISE IS ALMOST LIKE WHAT ONE WOULD HEAR IF THE ROTARS WERE SLIPPERY AND THE PADS WERE TRYING TO GRIP IT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DEALER WILL DO TODAY BUT I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE IT AND NOT TURN THE ROTARS EVERYTIME WE TURN THEM THEY LOOSE MASS. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE BACK IN ANOTHER 5-10K MILES. WHAT AFTER THE WARRANTY I DON'T WANT A BREAK JOB EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS @ $30K THESE CARS BETTER HAVE BREAKS THAT LAST BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT THERE MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE HERE IT IS NOT PLEASANT TO EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATIONS AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN IT COULD END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. THX SO MUCH!!!*AK
