  Folks, it is critically important that you set the TORQUE on the
lug nuts when you have disc brakes. If you do not ensure equal
torque all around, you will warp your rotors. This is mentioned
in both the Dakota owner's manual as well as FSM.

  If you don't do your own work, make sure your mechanics are
using torque wrenches to tighten the lugs. This is quite likely
the source of your rotor problems.
