Front rotors keep warping after several months of driving. This started a few months after I purchased car in 1999. Dealer turned rotors; had to take back in a few months; turned rotors again. Warranty ran out and rotors were replaced by another auto service in may of 2000. As of Oct they need replacing again. Dealer took care of this at no cost. Why are these rotors wearing out so quickly. Never had a car do that before.

On February 4, 1999 at 11,416 miles, I complained of vibration when braking. According to the service receipt, the brake rotors were resurfaced. On May 20, 1999, I complained of vibration when braking the mileage at this time was 19,394. According to the service receipt, the front rotors were replaced. Again on July 16, 1999, at 26,975 miles, I took my car in for repair a third time for vibration when braking. According to the service receipt, the front rotors were replaced and the rear drums resurfaced. Each time the problem subsided for a while but then returned. On September 9-10, 1999, the dealership again attempted to fix the problem. They indicated that they had received a "technical bulletin" with suggestions for addressing the problem. This time, they replaced the brakes and added some kind of bushings to the steering system. Now I am experiencing a continuous low-level vibration at interstate speeds. In addition, on September 16th, 1999, I began experiencing problems with my headlights. When I use my left turn signal, the lights automatically go to "bright". in addition, the headlights will not go off when the switch is in the "off" position.
