1 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 03/13/1997

The front brakes were misaligned.

2 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 03/01/1997

This is an ongoing problem with the front rotors becoming warped after about 15,000 to 20,000 miles of use. I went to the dealer twice under warrenty and both times they turned the roters. I have since replaced the roters and brake pads three times. I think this is highly unusual. I fear someday the braking system will completly fail.

While traveling and without any indication consumer lost control of vehicle as a result of an accident. Technician stated front brake disc had failed. Please provide further information.
