Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When having routine service performed on the vehicle at 22,000 miles, I was advised that the rotors on the front brakes were warped and required replacement. I was also advised that this was not covered by the bumper-to-bumper 36,000 mile warranty. Rather, the warranty period for brake rotors is 12,000 miles. I paid for the replacement but note that I had a similar problem on a 1999 jeep grand cherokee at well over 12,000 miles and the rotors were replaced under warranty. …”

NHTSA complaint #10087690, filed 2004-08, 17,000 miles“The brakes and rotors continued to wear prematurely. The dealer stated that the rotors were warped. The rotors were warping due to harsh composition of the brake pad. The front pads and rotors were replaced. The rotors were out of round. There was pulsation when the vehicle was driven at 60 MPH, therefore the front pads and rotors were replaced again, the rotors were out of round again. On another occasion, the consumer felt as is he were going to get thrown from the vehicle due to the pulsation. The pads and rotors were changed on four different occasions.”
