Need advice

[Gibs]

Well coming down the mountain from Julian, It felt like my brakes were getting hot. Kinda spongy...... Well on the way home from work today I noticed that at highway speed when braking there is a slight vibration in the car. My questions are as follows:

1. Should I take to the dealer and complain that there is a vibration? Or see if they wear in and no longer vibrate?
2. Do you think they will take care of it? AKA Replace rotors
3. Should I tell them about the brakes getting spongy or play stupid?

My personal thought is:

1. YES YES YES/NO NO NO
2. YES with some problems from them as far as them saying I use them to hard.
3. NO Play stupid. " I do not know why they are acting up....."

Thanks,
Gib

i vote for you to go to the dealer and play dumb, if its covered they might replace it like they did with emilios car problem

get some drilled and slotted rotors and blow the dealership up. if they make you buy the rotors(the stock ones if you choose to let them replace w/ stock let me know) i can get you a better price most likely just let me know the part(s) and #'s

Play Dumb, For The Most Part Is Usually Works...

VP I was talkin to Henry.....Just messing with him.

I did ride the brakes a bit but I had the little ones in the car so I had to be a little more careful.

im down to join once i get back but be advised im not a fan of stickers is that a big requirement?

 

[Gibs]

Yeah I do not want anymore stickers either. They are not to good on Black cars. They stand out horribly and make you look like rice.
