I have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee I just bought from a local dealership they did a brake inspection but it feels like the rotors are warped when I brake could it be just lot rot or the electronical braking system by chance?

If you are getting a vibration in the steering, chances are the front rotors are warped. If you feel it more in the seat, check rear.

IF THIS THING SAT FOR A WHILE, THE DISCS MAY HAVE SURFACE RUST ON THEM.

AT FIRST YOU MAY HAVE SOME SORTA RACKET COMING FROM THEM, IT SHOULD WEAR OFF RELATIVELY SOON AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A DAY OR TWO

ALL WILL BE FINE IF THAT IS THE SITUATION.

NORMALLY, IF YOU HAVE WARP-AGE, THE BRAKE PEDAL MIGHT PULSATE WHEN YOU START BRAKING. IF YOU PAY ATTENTION, THE PULSATIONS ARE FASTER WHEN TRAVELING FASTER AND SLOWER AS YOU GO SLOWER

BEING THAT THIS IS YOUR BRAKES, AND YOU MUST DEPEND ON THEM WITH YOUR LIFE, IF YOU FEEL THERE IS STILL A PROBLEM AND YOU CANNOT DIY. SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET A FREE INSPECTION AT A BRAKE AND MUFFLER SHOP.

LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES
