Description of the problem | At around 40k miles i started to notice pulsating when i apply the brakes. More pulsating the harder brakes are applied. At slower speed, near stopping i can hear clicking souind as well in the brakes. At 45k miles the rear brakes and "warped" rotors were replaced by the dealer. The front brakes have sufficient thickness so they did not require replacement. But the front brakes continue the problem of pulsating / vibration upon applying the brakes. This is not normal and should not be happening after only 40k miles. Dealer says it is not dangerous and warped rotors should be replaced when brake pads are replaced. I should not have to put up with vibration, noise and inconvenience of this problem. I do mormal street and highway driving. |
