""Brakes including pads rotors etc were replaced by dealer about 20 months ago. After about 16 months the car started vibrating when using the brakes more than very lightly. Took the car into an independent service shop for a diagnosis. They determined that al of the rotors were warped, pads generally worn out and that part of the problem appeared to be due to incorrect installation. Had the independent shop replace rotors and pads. Cost about half of what the dealer charged for the initial repair.""
