1 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 02/25/2004

Rotors needed to be turned at about 25000 miles due to vibration when stopping, this was done under warranty, I was told they would only due it once. The car now has 62000 miles on it and it has the original pads, they are do not need to be replaced due to wear. But the rotors need to be turned again, looking at other problems on this site, I am not the only one with this problem. I had a Honda with over 200000 miles on original rotors?.

3 Brake Disc Rotor problem

The vehicle has had the rotors replaced twice and the rotors resurfaced 8 times. All of this within 1. 5 years. My truck is a 1996 and I have only changed the rotors once. I haul and tow things with my truck on a weekly basis. They are trying to say it is operator use on my car. Explain this one to me please.
