I recently got a new car (end of August). I got 3 free oil changes and a tire rotation from the dealership. I took it for it's first service a couple weeks back. Now the car shimmys when I brake like there's a warped rotor. I have a feeling they didn't set the impact wrench to the 80 lb/sqft the manufacturer recommends as torque on the lugs and caused the warping. It's my understanding that the rotors on a car are so thin now that you can't grind out a warp and that if you over torque the lugs and get the rotors hot that they'll warp.
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with it? I can't prove they over torqued the lugs. I have a feeling they are going to say it's not covered under the warranty. All I know is it was smooth as silk before I took it in for service and now, not so much. I really don't have faith that the dealership will try to make it right.
