Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Jeep started shaking when brakes were applied. it was noticeable but not horrible. i live in colorado and went up into the mountains where brakes were applied more frequently. had a car load of girl scouts on a camping trip. when the brakes heated up, the car started shaking so violently when the brakes were applied that it was difficult to control the car. the girls were scared to death and the shaking caused me to actually pull over and put the girls out of the car to ride with other people in our group. i have never experienced anything like it in my life. i was in tears by the time we got to the camp site and all the way home it did the same thing. i never got the car over 30 mph in a 2 hour drive home. the car does not shake as violently if the brakes are not that hot, but it definitely shakes substantially. had the rotors repaired but the brake pads were fine. this is the second set of rotors i have put on in the past 18 months.*jb
