Hello Guys,

So to start off, happy holidays to everyone readying this or on this amazing forum.

Recently my cars (14,000 miles) steering wheel started shaking when i brake @ high speeds (freeway).

I read a few threads here and they all state that its probably resurfacing issue with the rotors.

1. well i called a brake shop (i trust) and they told me its probably rotors and could also mean break pads. and they said it should be covered under warranty and that i should probably email corporate if the dealership is not honoring it. (due to such low millage for resurfacing)

2. I call my dealership and they tell me its not covered its wear & tear and that its the brake pads as well as the rotors (resurface). when i asked i just want rotors resurface they said the problem will exist if i do that!

My questions is:

1. do i need to replace the brake pads when i don't even hear squeaking sound? and i only have 14K on the car?

2. how about warranty? is it really wear and tear? or should i email corporate?

3. if i do need to replace pads, are there any upgrades for the brake pads? or do i have to change the rotors as well?

any suggestions and recommendations is much appreciated it.

Finally, because you are putting the time to read and respond to this, i will donate $50 to Syrian children relieve fund.

Merry Christmas everyone!
