    The front right rotor warped. When driving at approximately 40 mph and the brakes were applied there was shutter/vibrated, and vehicle pulled to the right. Owner took vehicle to the dealer on two occasions, and dealer replaced the rotors. Also, informed owner the front right rotor is warped. After about 10,000 miles vibration returned. Vibration was felt when vehicle was driven at 40 mph or greater. *ak

    My 2002 camaro has had excessive vibration in the steering wheel cased by warped front rotors. Rotors were turned but 8k miles later they were so warped again that they had to be replaced. Put new pads and aftermarket slotted rotors to redue warping. *jb

    Rotor

    Brake rotors were warped and had to be turned twice within the first 15,000 miles of ownership under normal driving conditions. Dealer would not replace under warranty however, they machined the rotors as a "courtesy" and advised me not to stop so hard in the future - ridiculous! *ak

    Rotor

    2002 camero has developed excessive rotor wear and warping at low mileage and normal driving conditions. Dealer cliams it is not covered by warranty since it is not a defect in labor or material. Dealer service agent told me in confidence they have seen numerous cases and believe it to be a bad batch of rotors...still won't fix under warranty!!!*ak

    All four rotors became warped mysteriously just days after taking car to dealership to have oil leak, rear speaker, and left power window fixed. Baffled at how this could occur on a vehicle with such low miles and easy driving. However, mechanics at dealership drove my car for 30 miles - so who knows what occurred during that time. Had to pay brake shop $85 to get 4 rotors resurfaced, since dealer would not…
