Front brake rotors are prematurely wearing. When applying brakes at high speed vehicle vibrates, and pedal nearly goes to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Consumer states vehicle is very hard to stop at speeds over 35 mph rotors have been replaced 3 times since vehicle was purchased, and need replacement again at the present time.

Dealer says rear rotors were unsafe to drive due to rusting. Please keep in mind the car is garage kept, still has the "new-car look" and only has 17000 miles on it. Dealer claims "lack of use" as reason for deterioration of brake rotors. In my opinion, either faulty materials, poor design or a combination of both is what lead to this unsafe condition. Dealer says problem is not covered by warranty.
