| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Extreme front end shudder at 50+mph braking, occasionally bellow 50mph. first near crash was avoided by downshift and parking brake application. front end wobble and squeel and felt like brake fade but was only coming to stop from 35mph in residential/retail zone. stopped half way into intersection and was almost broadsided by a motorcyclyst. replaced with new pair of rotors and brake pads as original rotors were extremly warped and had minor crack on right front. pads were worn to metal in places. i have put on yet another set of rotors with same extreme warpage and more cracks than last set. i'm now on my fourth set of brake shoes. and the shuddering has been intensifying. took it to dealer once after first failure and they said everthing was fine with the system with exception of minor crack on right front rotor wich was later replaced. i'm about to go back again to have the shudder checked out as it is really bad now. *ak |
