Rotors had to be turned three times after every 7000 - 7500 miles due to heat build up in rotors when slowing down from highway speeds. This heat build up was causing rotors to warp, and vibration in vehicle. Dealership at first replaced brake pads in an effort to reduce heat build up. However, since then, had only turned rotors.

This is an extremely unsafe design defect that does not provide sufficient cooling. This is a known…
