The last set of brakes were heavy duty and obviously cost considerably more than regular brakes.…

Purchased 2004 jeep grand cherokee with about 11,000 miles. By 24,000 rotors are showing signs of warping. When brakes are applied steering wheel shivers and also get pedal feedback. This is causing an unsafe driving situation and should not be happening with a car with only 24,000 miles on it. *jb
