| Description of the problem | Complaint received via e-mail. While driving down a hills state road applied the brakes and the car started to shimmer, and the steering wheel started to shake very badly. I was scared to death. Luckily, we made it to the park in one piece. I drove home and called the dealer. The dealership, upon inspection of the vehicle, indicated that the 2 front rotors were badly warped. They machine them down just shy of the minimum, and did not replace them because the warranty book indicated replacement only if it was beyond the maximum allowed.*ak |
