“Front brake failure. Front brake rotors are warping to cause serve vibrations and very weak brakes. This had occurred before reaching 50,000 miles. Rotors and pads need to be replaced. I do not want to use original dealer replacement parts due to the fact it will just happen again. This is well know on internet and even my local inspection garage knows about it. Something needs to be done please.”
