Apologies for my first post being a complaint.
Last week I got 4 more new rotors at my expense. Service writer stated: "You said there was a shudder but they couldn't believe what they felt". Yes, it was bad but I had "lived with it" for the past 10,000 miles. The vehicle now has 51,000 miles and it's about 85% highway that I drive every day. (NOTE that I previously had a new set of four installed around 20,000 miles)
For an $85,000 vehicle this is unacceptable. We've owned a lot of cars and none have EVER exhibited this kind of problem. We have had rotors changed for wear but not for warpage or shudder related issues.
I'm disappointed but will continue the trek as we like the vehicle. This, however, is the Achilles Heel. Well, that and the gas mileage which I accepted before buying it.
My braking technique has nothing to do with this.
