    2002 elantra (30k) , at high speed braking bad shudder,
    the car
    sits 3-4 days at a time....

    Used to be garaged until 4 months ago now its in a carport
    wonder if rust build up could be it, maybe I'll try the
    repeated
    quick stop thingy.

    What I was wondering is that I have the factory 100k
    bumper to b deal..
    is this covered if it is indeed rotors ??

    Thanks guys

    If it is rust, most times a few stops clean it off. It may pay you to
    try the hard stop thing a couple of times though.

    Brake pads are a wear item and covered 1 year/12,000 miles, but I'm
    not sure if the rotors are covered under the 5 year/60,000 mile or
    not. Was it longer in '02? Check your manual

    Rotors are covered 5/60. Doubt if any extended warranty will cover
    them. Rusting is not covered as that's not considered a defect.
