| Description of the problem | After less than 1 year of driving the van, i noticed shaking while braking. I thought it was just bad braking habits. Last year, i rode an american version of this van (chrysler or dodge), there was the same problem. I sent it to the dealership today and found out that rear rotors were bad. I checked the internet and there were similar problems. I asked them to repair it hopefully, they will replace with better parts. I think the brakes were not designed for the v8 engine. |
