| Brakes pulsate when braking. car vibrates while driving and also has a desire to pull to right. feels likes wheels are out of balance all the time. i have taken the car in and had the balance checked and they say everything is fine. they say it is the make of the tires and goodyear is aware - they have made a goodwill replacement of the tires due to history of my car.... the engine blew at 1500 miles!!! still no better. every day i get my fillings rattled loose on the way to work. the pull to the right was fixed when the replaced the steering intermediate shaft - but i had to go back because the dealer did not do front end alignment after replacing the steering shaft not necessary - it's not the standard practice with the job when they finally put in on the machine, it was out of toe by .18 degrees. i am still working on getting the brakes fixed. last time they turned them due to hard spots. when i go back for the inspection in nov. i have to have them work on them again. this time i will fight to have the rotors replaced as i am terrified that i won't stop when i apply my brakes because the pulsating has gotten that bad. *tr | |||
