Finally going to have to take mine in for warranty/service

Born on date 7/03, bought it begining of Jan. 04.
Mileage 5500
Was fortuneate enough not to have some of the more serious problems i have read.
But finally getting tired of the grease streaks that raises its ulgy head on both passenger and drivers windows everytime i roll them down.
Also, as time goes on, i am feeling more back and forth vibration in the steering wheel when i brake. Its to the point where it is annoying.
I hate having to take it in to the service bozo's, but looks like i don't have any other choice.

Sounds like there might be a tire or balance problem involved. What do you think? What is the owners responsibility on rotate & balance? At 5500 miles, these issues should be addressed.

The steering wheel vib/shimmy while braking is probably due to warped rotors. I had mine resurfaced at 1800 miles and more recently at 4500 miles for brake-shake. If it happens again, I will insist they replace the rotors (I don't think they could be resurfaced a 3rd time due to minimum thickness requirements).
