HE SHOWED ME THE CRACKS IN THE ROTORS . I HAD IT FIXED . THE ROTORSS COST ME 118. DOLLARS . THIS FAILURE SEEMS PREMATURE TO ME . I DON'T DRIVE MANY MILES DURING THE YEAR SO IT DIDN,T SHOW UP DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD. I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 7000 MILES A YEAR . DO I HAVE A RECOURSE OR DO I JUST PAY IT AND SHUT UP ?
