I have had the rotors replaced twice within 22,000 miles. I just took it in again because the wheel shakes when applying the brakes sometimes, the dealer says they don't see anything wrong. In the rain it feels like the brakes are not going to work at all, every now and then the brake pedal goes to the floor. There is something wrong, the car should not be shaking like this and should not be needing new rotors all the time. They've also replaced the wheel covers every time the rotors were done, I don't know why. I had them replace the pass. Wheel cover last week because I noticed small cracks on each spoke of the rim.
Brakes pulsate when applied at highway speeds which causes the steering wheel to shake severely. Could cause an accident. Rotors were pitted and warped.
