| Description of the problem | 3/28/2006 when braking there is intermittently a pulsation,75% decreased braking ability, brake light on. Braking decrease is a hazard! : dealer found steering wheel shakes when braking. Installed updated brake kit & brake judder bulletin. Still occurring every once in a while . . . Once ever several months, but cannot reproduce exact symptoms at dealer. 10/20/2008: when braking there is intermittently a pulsation,decreased braking ability, brake light on. Symptom appeared and stopped at local mechanic. He tested car, but symptoms disappear when car shut off and restarted. Dealer found no codes present. Not able to reproduce problem. Performed tsb 06-040 and advised it may not fix problem. Software updated and problem seemed to be resolved until 6/25/2010: when braking there is intermittently a pulsation,75% decreased braking ability, brake light on. Braking decrease is a hazard! Reading about same problem in forums without a good solution. Hate to be a death or injury to get this problem noticed. Will take back to the dealer, but expect the same "not sure it is fixed" response. |
