All four rotors were warped and had to be replaced at 50,000 miles. This shouldn't happen at this mileage mark. Original rotors were junk. Wrong alloys, venting, design, thickness...

Had the brakes checked out and found out that the drums needed replaced. The mechanic said it was very unusual for this problem on a car with low mileage.
