Complaint Description: the rotors on my brakes lasted a good month and a half before they started to shake violently when i would try to gradually brake from speeds between 45-65 mph. today i was exiting the freeway at about 65 mph and it felt like they just weren't stopping me. there was no pressure. i had the brakes checked out and the pads are like new, the rotors show some warping, however im not sure a warped rotor can cause brake failure. id like to feel a lot more comfortable while driving my car. im glad nothing extreme happened. *cb .
