    The front brake rotors have warped for the second time in 42,000 miles. Driving with these warped rotors causes the steering wheel to shake violently and brake application at the wheels to be uneven. The shaking is more pronounced when braking from speeds above 40 mph. This is a very unsafe condition especially on wet or icy surfaces. The dealer refuses to replace the rotors under warranty. *jb

Had a car load of girl scouts on a camping trip. When the brakes heated up, the car started shaking so violently when the brakes were applied that it was difficult to control the car. The girls were scared to death and the shaking caused me to…
