It is obvious this problem with severely defective brake rotors is a major safety defect. I feel that if the proper safety organization were to investigate this thoroughly by testing braking distance, brake handling,and how ABS brake system is affected it would be found to be a significant safety hazard in all the vehicles involved. I would not be surprised if some accidents could have all ready been avoided if this issue was resolved. This is a much more wide spread problem than may be realized as my brother-inlaw had the same problem with his 1999 jeep grand cherokee laredo, but he just had them replace both front rotors, at his cost. I'm sure jeep is not writing to the federal safety agency every time they replace these defective rotors, do they?

When applying ABS brakes to slow down or to stop while on a rough road, brakes would lock up , and rotors would shimmy. Took vehicle to mechanic, and informed consumer rotors needed to be turned. If rotors become hot, and go through water, they would become warped.
