Sounds like the mechanic was over tightening the lug nuts,thus warping the rotors,which makes the car shake when brakes are applied,I'd talk to the Service manager,before the same mechanic gets his impact wrench on your 2016!

Torque wrench was used to spec, star pattern, etc.

We tried everything, after replacing rotors the 3rd time we had nothing else to blame it on... Well they assumed my driving style lol, but they only mentioned that after the 2nd set... I shut that claim down quick.

My car squeeked when I turned after that, but the squeeking went away after I replaced the rotors. I went through 3 sets of rotors and only 2 sets of brake pads in 46000 miles on it.

I had 36k miles 3 sets of front rotors & 2 pads! Mine was not squeaking, just shaking terribly when braking.. Replacing said parts would only temp fix as the issues came back every 5-6k miles.

My lesson is don't hit anymore curbs! Shit can cause extremely expensive & repeat issues.
