NOW AT 30000 I AM BACK IN FOR THE SAME REASON THE CAR VIBRATES VIOLENTLY AT HIGH SPEEDS IF I BREAK TO STOP MY NEIGHBOR HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AT 20K MILES. I ALSO HAVE THIS GRAONING NOISE COMING FROM MY BRAKES WHEN I BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS THE NOISE IS ALMOST LIKE WHAT ONE WOULD HEAR IF THE ROTARS WERE SLIPPERY AND THE PADS WERE TRYING TO GRIP IT. I AM NOT SURE WHAT THE DEALER WILL DO TODAY BUT I ASKED THEM TO REPLACE IT AND NOT TURN THE ROTARS EVERYTIME WE TURN THEM THEY LOOSE MASS. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE BACK IN ANOTHER 5-10K MILES. WHAT AFTER THE WARRANTY I DON'T WANT A BREAK JOB EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS @ $30K THESE CARS BETTER HAVE BREAKS THAT LAST BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT THERE MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE HERE IT IS NOT PLEASANT TO EXPERIENCE THE VIBRATIONS AT HIGH SPEEDS WHEN ONE IS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN IT COULD END UP CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
