| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Front rotors warped at around 15000 miles. at the first incident, i had the rotors turned and bought high quality pads. shortly thereafter, the rotors warped again. i bought another set of rotors, and things were okay for about 10000 miles. afterwards, braking vibration came back. i decided to buy brembo slotted rotors in case the factory rotors were not good enough. i finally found an internet site that had them for this car, but i probably cannot write the name here. i also made sure my tire center did not torque the lugs over 80 foot pounds when rotating the tires. after a rotation, i used my torque wrench to verify proper torque. so far the brembo rotors have not warped. lastly, i have noticed the steering wheel vibrates at highway speeds. tire rotation and balancing does not help.*ak |
