Warped rotors in a month ??????? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Rich G. on  Mon Jul 22 09:17 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi,
The rear rotors/pads on my wife`s 855 were replaced a month ago & last week I noticed the familiar judder from the rear when applying the brakes at 55/60 mph. We took the car into the dealer this am & just got a call that the rear discs need to be replaced. Understandably, I was not too happy to hear that news & less so when it was suggested that maybe the emergency brake had been left on. Neither my wife nor I use the e. brake unless we park on a hill which is almost never.
I am very reluctant to take the hit for another set of discs since I see no reason that the first set should be warped& I could find myself replacing a new set in another month. I should point out that there has been absolutely no high speed braking, just normal driving.
What gives here?
Thanks,
Rich
