Anyone know how this vapor lock occurs ? And how to prevent it in the future.

How come they charged you for the new hoses if the work was guaranteed ?
They charged me for new hoses because that's not what was guaranteed. The rotors were because I had already purchased them and they were only 15 days old.

I have 62,500 miles on it and decided to put new front rotors / drilled and slotted on it. When checking the pads I was delighted to find 3/8th" pads left on all 4. So will save the new pads for near 100,000 mile. Insection of rotors found many cracks in them. Glad they are gone. Started the brake vibrate thing at high speed slow downs. If U experience it inspect rotors closely. Support UR calipers so as not to damage ur hoses an remove hose support bolts.
