| Dt: since buying the vehicle the consumer had a problem with the rotors. they have been replaced twice. while braking the rotors caused the steering wheel to shake violently. took vehicle to the dealer for a third time yesterday. the dealer said this was an issue with the lamination on the rotors. the consumer did not have rotors replaced because he was afraid he would be charged for the repair as well the dealer placing the same type of rotors that have been rusting in the past. the mechanic noted air bubbles in the casting in the rotors which the caused the rusting. *ak when the vehicle was driven at speeds of 60 mph or even 30 mph, the consumer noticed pulsation in the brake pedal, however, when approaching exit ramps and when more pressure was applied to the pedal, a more severe pulsation would cause the steering wheel to vibrate violently. other problems: the driver's window switch was inoperative and the front brakes would grind when stopping due to rotor problem. *sc *jb | |||
