BRAUN Complaints

THE FRONT ROTORS OF MY VEHICLE HAVE TO BE RESURFACED AFTER ONLY 12,500 MILES. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME CHRYSLER HAD A NOTICE ABOUT THE REAR ONES AS WELL AND HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF THOSE AS WELL. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING WITH A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. *TR
