| Description of the problem | Recurring issue of severe pulsation when braking at highway speeds. Pulsation exacerbated by repeated stopping (red lights) or slowing from high speeds (freeway exit ramps). The problem makes it difficult to maintain proper control of the vehicle and makes it difficult to use mirrors due to shaking. I have driven the vehicle less than 40,000 miles and have needed to replace the rotors twice due to this issue. |
