The first time the front rotors had to be resurfaced the vehicle only had 10,000 miles on it, than it was resurfaced again and finally we had to have new rotors installed. The same problem started happening again causing the brakes to wear, rotors resurfaced again, than new tires in the front were wearing out of rounds, now this will be the fifth time we have to have the rotors repaired (resurfaced). The steering wheel vibrates terribly when applying the brakes due to this problem.
