| Description of the problem | At 13000 miles the steering wheel violently shakes when braking at 30 mph. Dealer checked and said all was ok. While evacuated for katrina an indpendent mechanic said the rotor was warped and did something to them. At 32000 miles the shaking became worse. Called dealer and asked about warranty/recall and was told not applicable. Just spent $500 to replace rotors in front. Back needs work also. *jb |
