02-03 Owners With Front Brake Tsb Work Done.

[steviej]

Of all the 02/03 ES owners, have any of you had the brake vibration return after the TSB work was performed?

I had the TSB done at 24k miles and now at 36.5k miles the vibration is coming back again (especially on highway off ramps).

Never had any vibration here...

No brake problems either, but my car has less than 7K miles. I hope it's not things to come. In your case it's probably warped rotors.

What did they replaced? rotors and pads? If they replaced the new rotors alone...it would warp again.

they replaced front pads and rotors. The rotors were even totally different that what was swappped out.

I only feel it when coming down an off ramp of a highway or when lots of braking has been done from speeds > 45mph. It is defineately not the pulsation that was there with the pre-TSB pads and rotors.

I don't get it with just running to the store and back, but hitting the highway and constant stops and starts over say an hour will bring it out.

I was at the dealer today and they offered to resurface all four rotors and claim it under warranty. Now it brakes wicked smooth. :D
