My wife "warped" our rotors within 20K miles with poor braking habits when it was her DD. I replaced the rotors and pads and have 50K miles on it now

![]() My wife "warped" our rotors within 20K miles with poor braking habits when it was her DD. I replaced the rotors and pads and have 50K miles on it now with zero braking issues ![]() Your best bet is going to be to start over with some new rotors, new pads, proper bedding, and practice good braking habits going forward ![]() A few tips on proper braking habits:

i had the same issue with a rumbling/vibrating in the steeringwheel during braking at a specific speed point. over the speed was fine, under fine but only between 40 to 65. i changed my rotors + pads last year and everything is good again. i have a 2012 touring sport. Quote:
oh and another thing, don't go through deep puddles if you can avoid them... i think thats why i warped mine. making wakes with hot/warm rotors touching cold water and rapid cooling. and the holding the brake pedal down too hard during summer on my dd home from work |
