The rotors also had to be replaced.
Severe vibration when braking. Vibrations felt in steering and passenger seating. This 3 year old vehicle has only 25,000 miles. The brake rotors should not be defective at such a low mileage.
The front disc pads, rear brake rotors and rear calipers had to be replaced on a two-year-old car with only 38,500 miles on it. Before the brakes were fixed, the car would shake so badly it felt like it was going to fall apart.
