Re: Rotors warping
Here is your typical dealer scam artist at work....
He uses an impact gun to hammer on your wheel lug nuts with his 'fancy'
torque stick maybe attached to is and totally ignores the Chrysler TSB
saying they need to be hand torqued on.
He then doesn't really act too surprised when you come back with rotors
warped all to hell and says 'no problem, it happens all the time, we
will turn them under warranty now!' Aren't you lucky!!!
He then hammers the wheels back on with his gun after taking away half
the life of the rotors.
So then comes the 'surprise!', the warranty runs out and the rotors
have warped again and because they were 'sooo' nice to you and turned
them down under warranty, you now find 'you' have to go and buy new
rotors because they cannot be 'fixed' or turned down again.
'I' would not accept a butcher job on a new vehicle on a high wear
part. If the rotors warped, a replacement is all that is acceptable
under 'warranty'.
Not a total rip off 'fix' that is going to cost 'me' money down the
road.
