3 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 12/01/1998

The problem with the brakes was there when I purchased the car. I asked the dealer to fix the brake chatter. They allegedly serviced the brakes and the problem was improved but still there. However, now that the car has been through a little more mileage, the problem is getting markedly worse. I think the rotors must be warped. Seems that this should have been corrected when I asked the dealer the first time. After reading some of the bulletin boards on this problem, I see that this is probably a material defect in the rotor composition. Please help me to resolve this problem. I file this complaint because I wish to officially document the severe chatter that occurs when braking at around 45 mph. It probably would not be such a problem if the steering wheel didn't vibrate so violently. I'm concerned about a loss of control in an emergency situation. Thanks, robert murry.
