Solara Brake/Rotor problems?
I have a two week old Toyota Solara SE and I've just noticed a grinding/vibrating feeling in the brake pedal as well as a vibration in the steering wheel when braking at moderate speeds.
How can this problem exist in a 2 week old car with only 1200 miles on it? What could be the cause of this problem? It certainly can't be excessive wear. Is there a such thing as factory defective rotors or could the problem be rust on the rotor from sitting on the dealer lot for a period of time such as one tech suggested. I have an appointment on Friday (something I
didn't think I have to do for some time!).
Any advice or suggestions - I'd be grateful.

me to take it out. I'm kinda concerned about a problem showing up so quickly especially when
I know how it's been driven for it's first 1200 miles. Do you think this is a serious default with the car or maybe just a defective rotor or something? I'm have an appointment with a Toyota Dealer (not the one where it was purchased) on this Friday for a look at the problem.

I am not a Solara owner (my mom has a Camry), so I am not that watchful of the Solara/Camry threads. Altogether, I do not think it's chronic (especially on the Solara line).
