Brake Rotor Problem

The front rotors on my 2.8Q were replaced at 13k miles due to a vibration under hard braking. Now at 21k miles the vibration is starting again. Anybody else have this problem ?

Had fonts replaced at 2K, and just replaced rears at 5k --- On a 2.7T.

Many here have reported warped rotors--basically, they must suck...

I have never heard of rotors warping so frequently, except on my '85 CRX with Midas replacements (I was ignorant

It does make one wonder. "Great sucking sound" = the sound of $$ efficiency replacing bad parts

instead of spending slightly more upfront to get a supplier to do it right. Audi sometimes runs the company like a government agency. Slow to respond and willing to spend four times the $$$ to fix a preventable problem that could have been addressed by spending $ more upfront.

Is it dumbness or numbness?
