RX 330 Rotors Warped
Q: My wife's ES had brakes jerking so hard it was unbelievable. I complained long and hard and they blamed her for driving through water with hot brakes. They finaly agreed to replace the brakes and rotors for half price. My LS 430 has jerked and had rough brakes since new last fall. Lexus says that is normal. Glad you started this thread cause now I will go see a brake guy and see if the rotors are warped. Every time I go to the dealer for something on the car, I mention the brakes and ask them to be checked. But the dealer doesn't even list it all the time - probably afraid of lemon law suits.
A: Normal? No way. If that particular dealer (independently operated) continues to give you problems talk to Toyota's customer service line directly. Actually rotor problems started popping up a lot more since 2002. There were even TSBs telling the techs to replace them free. Must be a new low cost supplier.
