Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Front disc brakes do not function properly. i bought this vehicle in may 1997. approximately 6 months after driving this vehicle i started noticing front disc brake problems. the vehicle was taken to gunderson chevrolet were they "grinded" and lubed front "knuckles?" . problem continued and consisits of "jerky" and "clunky" front brakes. vehicle has been taken to a private repair shop were front disc pads were replaced and front rotor were turned due to warping. vehicle continues to exhibit a "jerky" braking motion which is annoying and could possibly cause an accident due to improper braking. i believe that this front brake system is very poorly designed and would expect that gmac should repair this $35,000 vehicle which should have a reliable and smooth front braking system.( dot number: tire size: 235/75/15 )
