Before 10,000 miles, the front would vibrate when braking from highway speeds or going down steep hills. I had the rotors turned because they were warped. Within 3 months, the same thing happened again. The rotors were warped again. I took it to the dealership and they replaced the rotors. Within 3 months it did it again. I took it back to the dealership and they replaced the rotors again. I also replaced the brakes out of my pocket. It has been another 3 months and it is starting again. At a routine oil change and brake inspection, Firestone says the rotors are warped and my brake pads are down to 25%. the vehicle is only 2 years old and has less than 30,000 miles on it. I have had 3 different sets of rotors put on this vehicle.

The contact complained about brake problem four months after she bought the car. The car started to shimmy. After she had the car ten months with 7,174 miles on it she took the car to the dealer, and the dealer changed the rotors and then the drums. About two month later when the car had 8,317 miles on it the vehicle started doing it again. The dealer told the contact they could not fix it under warranty because this was not a safety issue. She bought the car brand new in may-2004.
