| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: In approximately early 2006, i noticed the front wheels would shimmy when i applied the brakes at higher speeds. typically it would occur as i was driving down steeper grades in the mountains. i brought this to the attention of the honda dealer in april 2006 when the vehicle had 35,418 miles. the honda dealer dismissed it and said it was probably due to the front wheel still wanting to provide power while the brakes were applied. consequently, the brake system checked out fine during their inspection. unfortunately, the problem still persists and is getting worse. i've also now noticed the problem when i drive on flatter surfaces as well. the problem is most noticeable when stopping at speeds over 50 mph and is even more pronounced when driving down hills. my concern at this point is that the vehicle will become unstable because of the excessive shimmy that occurs in the front wheels while braking at higher speeds or on an incline. *tr |
