Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE STEERING WHEEL SHUDDERS, BECOMING SEVERE AT SPEEDS OF 50MPH OR HIGHER. WHEN BRAKING THE WHEEL PULLS HARD, THE PEDAL MUST BE PUMPED TO KEEP FROM STEERING RIGHT. IF YOU BRAKE HARD THE WHEEL "JERKS"HARD CAUSING YOU TO LOOSE HOLD OF THE STEERING WHEEL IF YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING IT. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN CUT TWICE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THIS TIME IT HAS MADE IT MUCH WORSE.
