The car's brake rotors warp every 1500 miles resulting in a loss of braking. The rotors have been machined and/or replaced on 3 occasions but the problem reoccurs. When braking with the warped rotors, the ABS wheel speed sensors hit the "bad" spot on the rotors and assume a lock-up is emminent. The ABS system then releases pressure on the brakes and braking distance exceeds safe levels.
