Default Warranty? What Warranty....

Situation: Car wobbles under braking, possible warped rotor. Call local Ford Dealer, explain situation. Ask's what kind of warranty, I say Ford Premium Extended (I paid the extra 1.5k god dammit). He says not a warranty item, 110 each rotor thanks.

Now, to a not-so-technically minded person, the rotor is a mechanical essential part of the car. Without a rotor, your car tends not to decelerate too quickly. With a damaged rotor, braking is similarly affected (obviously not to the same extreme, but still, it shouldn't be doing it).

Is it worth me chucking up a stink to get this done under warranty? I have heard stories about rotors coming out on AU's all wonky n shiznit. No idea if this rotor is still the original though (being 115k's I'd say not).

Sometimes the wobble gets so bad under heavier braking applications that the brakes seem almost not to work at all (you can actually feel that the wheel/rotor is just bouncing happily away from the pads).

- Love Shane
