Rotors need to be turned you have to take it to a shop to have them turned on the car they dont slip on like most cars there presed in with the bearing so you can not get them off honda done that till 1998 now there slip on

They probably torqued the wheel too tight & warped the rotor. The wheel lugs need to be torqued properly & most shops just zip them on with an air impact that overtightens them.

Either one of your new rotors has warped or a pad has not been secured properly. Get it looked at again PDQ.

I am guessing you didn't work on your own car.All kinds of things are possible to cause your problem. But none of that is important. You need to take it back to the place that did the work and have him correct the problem. If need to be, take it to the third party. I wouldn't suggest driving your car like this.

Your rotors are warped from getting very hot . To correct the problem you have to get the rotors turned

did you turn the rotors or drums? Most likely you have disk brakes so the rotors could be warped or if you turned the rotors you may have over torqued the lug nuts and warped the rotors

Warped rotors. Go back to the place you had the work done, if you have had good luck with them in the past. They'll have to machine them. Warped rotors could be caused by a number of things, like bad harware not allowing the caliper to fully release, causing the rotor(s) to overheat and warp.Expect to pay for their time to fix this problem.
