#725066July 7, 2000
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
AT APPROXIMENTLY 9000 MI. I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICALE STARTED TO SHIMMY WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THEN AT APPORX. 14,000 I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DODGE MECH. AND HAD THE FRONT ROTORS LOOKED AT. THE MECH. STATES THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND NEED TO BE MACHINED. I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE BRAKE PADS, CAUSING THE ROTORS TO GET HOT AT A FASTER RATE. AT THIS PACE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE ROTORS WAY BEFORE I HAVE TO REPLACE THE PADS. I THINK I KNOW ALOT ABOUT CARS AND THAT DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT . THANK YOU. *AK
