Unhappy Warped BrakeS?!

my 99 ES is @ 34k mi, and I'm pretty daymn sure that the rotors have warped. The whole car pulsates when I press the brakes moderately and the steering wheel vibrates too. Bothers the heck outta me. I was wondering if that was normal for Lexus stock brakes after only 34k? And how much it would cost me to get the rotors and/or pads replaced at the dealership.

Depending on the dealer, they may do it under warranty- like they did mine. I had about 40K miles when mine did it. Probably should've been a recalled part.

before replacing anything, make sure your rotors aren't just out of alignment.
