THE FRONT ROTORS GO OUT BETWEEN 3000 AND 4000 MILES FAITHFULY. THEY ACT LIKE WARPED ROTORS BUT THERE NOT WARPED. SERVICE SHOP CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THE FACTORY REP WONT SAY WHAT IS WRONG. THEY JUST KEEP REPLACEING THEM. I'M ON MY FORTH SET NOT. SINCE THIS IS WINTER IN OREGON THEY WONT GO OUT TILL MARCH OR APRIL. SINCE I AM RIDING THIS BIKE EVERY TIME THE ROTORS START GOING OUT IT MAKES IT KIND OF HARD TO BRAKE FOR CORNERS. I GET A BAD VIBRATION OUT OF THE FRONT END. AFTER THREE SETS OF ROTORS IT'S QUITE OBVIOUS TO ME THAT SOMETHING ELSE IS WRONG. BUT THE RUMOR IS THAT HONDA HAS LOST OF ROTORS IN STOCK AND THERE JUST GOING TO KEEP REPLACEING THEM. THIS IS NOT A FIX SO FAR JUST A PATCH. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET THESE BRAKES FIXED RIGHT ??

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
