Consumer was concerned that the front rotors wore out prematurely. Vehicle had 6-8 sets of front rotors replaced within five years. This was due to warped/out of round rotors.

Disc brake rotors were warped. There was a lot of wobbling in steering wheel after applying brakes. Took vehicle to dealer & informed by mechanic that front disc brakes were warped badly & needed to be replaced.
