Got my car back
...from the stealership this evening. They had it for a couple days to work on a vibration and pulling to the left. After a wheel alignment and turning the rotors, all seems to be well. $329.18
I would have gone somewhere else to get the rotors machined, but I'm going on a road trip tomorrow to visit a friend in PA and wanted the vibration taken care of ASAP. At least they gave me a brand new laser red 'vert to drive around for a couple days. Their customer service is great, but you pay for it...

It would have been a lot more expensive to have the dealer put new rotors on. I could have done new rotors myself for about the same price, but I just didn't have the time.

I always get my rotors turned if they are within specs. My machine shop turns them for $15 a piece, that is alot cheapier than new ones.

Did you have your tires balanced? You can even have a thrown belt inside of one causing your issue. The way you can usually tell if that is the problem is by a bubble on the side of your tires.

They were going to Road Force balance the tires, which would have been nice. But I guess once they saw the rotors were warped, they blamed the vibration on that and decided not to balance the tires.
The tires are only a couple months old, so I don't think they're the culprit.

Honestly I have a set of tires on my car right now that 1 of them have bubble in the sidewall and the tires are only 6 months old. I am waiting on a new one to come in to replace it. There isn't a age that decides if there is a bubble or not because it happens sometimes when the tires are made. But the only way you can see it is when the tires are inflated. It is actually a broken radial that causes the bubble. Well good luck and have a safe trip.
