| Description of the problem | The brakes have been a problem since i purchased the vehicle. The wheel shimmy's when i apply the brakes and it gets progressively worse. I have to take it into the shop again to have it looked at - the first time they ground the rotors - now i will want them to replace the pads and brake rotors. It is very scary to drive around a corner when you must apply the brakes.*ak |
