Rotors warped due to excessive heat, dealer stated that this happened because of the driver making quick stops from high speeds or riding the brake pedal while vehicle is in motion, consumer states neither of these things have occurred and feels that there is a malfunction within the braking system or ABS, after repairs the right front wheel had an extreme heat build up which consumer could feel, the heat from the left front wheel is hot, but nothing to compare with the right wheel, the rear wheels are only warm.
