EVO back to the dealer...

For the second time in a month. Had the rotors turned on 8/10 because my steering wheel was shaking when braking, then went on road trip to NYC and on the way back, same thing!!!! Called the dealer today and they took her out for a road test and decided the rotors needed to be turned again?!? Has this happened to anyone else and is this the right solution, please help!

Thanks

Make them replace them. If they don't when you get the car home TQ the lug nuts to 65/ftp. I have 14K on my car and have never had any issue and still on stock pads.

I've had mine fixed once so far and they are doing it again. I just put on new pads and it helped, but it's still a problem. I am going to try and get new rotors. Just remember if it happens 3 times they have to replace them insted of fixing them.

I had the same issue with my brakes. Rotors turned 3 times before 15000 miles.

Ultimately I had to replace rotors and pads on my car. The problem was solved after that.
