| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Dt*: the contact stated while braking at any speed, the steering wheel shakes. the dealership replaced the rotors four times, but this has not fixed the problem. the vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop that determined the calipers need to be replaced. when shaking occurs the vehicle seems to have less stopping power. a driver unaccustomed to wheel shaking when braking could lose control of the vehicle. contact has already replaced six sets of rotors. there seems to be inherent flaw in the original brake design. the contact felt the dealer did his best to try to correct the problem. *ak |
