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!

Front disc brake rotors warped prematurely.
I purchased my vehicle on may 11 2002 and I have already had to replace my differ. And rotors, I have other problems but there not effecting the overall operations. If gm ever want me to buy a car from them again, they better get there ?!@#$% together, how many complaints does it take?
When applying pressure to the brake pedal, the vehicle shook violently. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and the mechanic determined that the front rotors were warped and must be replaced. *ak ceramic brakes were placed on the vehicle which caused the rotors to warp. *scc
Since around 5000 I started to feel a ribration in the steering wheel while braking. It has slowly got worst till now at 10,000 miles. I am told it is the rotors and they a warped. Shoes have plenty of good pad left and no grooves are worn it the rotor face. The starting date is estimated date that the problem started.
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 warranty. (stereo speaker still not fixed, and window still rattles).
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!!!
The brake pedal went to the floor when the brake was applied which caused extended stopping distance. The dealer was notified.
Vehicle vibrates during braking. Have had rotors replaced and turned. Problem returns every time. Rotors are warping due to normal braking. Dealer says it is due to hard driving, will not service under warranty.
The vehicle experienced a vibration, when the brake was applied.
2002 camaro, car started to shake when brakes were applied at abt 8,000 miles. Took into dealer to be checked out. Was told rotors needed to be turned. For this to happen with such low miles must be defective. Should have been given new rotors. Has there been a recall?
When applying brakes at high speed vehicle shutters. Steering wheel vibrates, and braking distance is extended. Also, rotors were resurfaced at 4000 miles, then replaced. Rotors need resurfacing again at this time.
