Question rotors

Hey Guys, I'm sure this was covered but I'm wondering how you can tell your rotors need resurfacing. Everyone talks about it but I haven't had any problems with my brakes, until now. I have about 26,000 miles on and when I brake at high speeds my car shakes and the wheel just shakes like crazy. Any ideas?

do a search next time on it man. basically when you're braking, usually at high speeds, you'll feel strong vibration in your steering wheel. just take it to your dealer and demand they be fixed under warranty. shouldn't have any problems. holla

Hi. I had my rotors replaced at about 25k miles due to pulsating braking at higher speeds. The dealer replaced them for free. Then at about 31k miles, it started again. So I went back to the dealer and this time they told me there was a new TSB to replace the original brake pads that were causing the warped rotors. So I got new rotors and brake pads from the dealer. Good luck on getting new brakes.
