What owners wrote
Rotors warped and rusted and could not be resurfaced.resulting in cost of $475 dollars for new front rotors and brake pads. Also minor crash for slow stopping.car also jerks when changing gears.
Front rotors warped at around 15000 miles. At the first incident, I had the rotors turned and bought high quality pads. Shortly thereafter, the rotors warped again. I bought another set of rotors, and things were okay for about 10000 miles. Afterwards, braking vibration came back. I decided to buy brembo slotted rotors in case the factory rotors were not good enough. I finally found an internet site that had them for this car, but I probably cannot write the name here.
