TSB Pulsating brakes

Just got done with my B-1 service and paid $233 down from $240 something with my 10 percent labor discount. I really think I got hosed on that service.

While the car was in for service I got a call saying something about my brakes pulsating through the steering wheel and a TSB on it. I had felt it but I didn't want to pay $400 on this service having the brakes fixed. They replaced the front pads and resurfaced the discs due to uneven wear. Had the same problem with my CL and heck I had to pay to have it fixed. What makes this case different? I have an '07 with 19,300 miles.

Welcome to the brakes club. You had a CL with the same problem ? I had a TL with the same problem.

^^^ And rotors. There have been several threads about other users having their rotors changed out under warranty for warping. And the replacements invariably warp as well. I've only got 12k on mine and I think I'm starting to feel the beginnings of it. Don't get me wrong, if it gets bad, I'll take it to the dealer as many times as I can during my warranty. But the end all solution seems to be new pads and rotors. Marcus from Heeltoe can probably recommend some good ones.

I didn't even need to change the rotors! I am still on my original rotors from 2004, but with Hawk Ceramics. Now warping or shuddering eventhough i have been to the circuit 5 times.
