My 2002 Camaro has had excessive vibration in the steering wheel cased by warped front rotors. Rotors were turned but 8k miles later they were so warped again that they had to be replaced. Put new pads and aftermarket slotted rotors to redue warping.

5 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Brake rotors were warped and had to be turned twice within the first 15,000 miles of ownership under normal driving conditions. Dealer would not replace under warranty however, they machined the rotors as a "courtesy" and advised me not to stop so hard in the future - ridiculous!.

7 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 05/16/2003

2002 camero has developed excessive rotor wear and warping at low mileage and normal driving conditions. Dealer cliams it is not covered by warranty since it is not a defect in labor or material. Dealer service agent told me in confidence they have seen numerous cases and believe it to be a bad batch of rotors. . . Still won't fix under warranty!!!.

8 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2002

Vehicle vibrates during braking. Have had rotors replaced and turned. Problem returns every time. Rotors are warping due to normal braking. Dealer says it is due to hard driving, will not service under warranty.

When applying brakes at high speed vehicle shutters. Steering wheel vibrates, and braking distance is extended. Also, rotors were resurfaced at 4000 miles, then replaced. Rotors need resurfacing again at this time.
