When applying brakes at speeds of around 30 mph or more the vehicle's front end shims violently. The vehicle shakes as the front wheels are seen oscillations from right to left, which results in a lost of steering. The dealer attributes this to warped rotors. While warped rotors may cause a braking issue they should not cause oscillations in the front wheels. Replacing the rotors and pads might temporarily improve…
