Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 1999 saturn sl2 w/ 23,000mi. at 60,000mi i began to feel a judder/vibration from the steering wheel. i took it to a saturn dealer and was told the rotors we're warped and needed to be replaced. i went to a repair shop and had non-oem brake rotors installed and after approxiametely 65,000mi, began to have the same problem. after leaving the car with the repair shop, they could not find anything wrong, but my rotors keep warping. the repair shop cut the rotors "slightly" and now at 70,000mi i still have the same problem. there is definietly wrong with the design of the brake system. i have been told that rotors do warp but they should last for approx. 70,000mi, and i should not be feeling the judder/vibration in my steering wheel.*ak
