| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Recurring and severe front brake chatter. despite repeated repair, the front brakes chatter on braking so much that the steering wheel shakes. the braking strength is substantially reduced and braking distance substantially increased. the dealer claims this is due to the rear brakes being out of adjustment causing the front brakes to work "too hard" resulting in warped rotors. they will not cover these repairs under warranty. the repair only lasts about 3000 miles at best. *jb |
