Consumer Description

WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES SO BAD THAT I AM AFRAID OF LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO DRIVE IT AND I ONLY DARE TO DRIVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO WORK WHICH IS LESS THAN 7 MILES AND SPEED LIMITS DO NOT EXCEED 35 MPH. I HAVE HAD BRAKES REPLACED TWICE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2011 AND NOW IT NEEDS THEM AGAIN. I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES WITH LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. COST WAS OVER $1300.00. WHAT CAN I DO WITH THIS LEMON? ALSO, WHEN IT RAINS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR FILLS WITH WATER.
