Consumer Description

I HAVE NOTICED WHEN BRAKING AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN 45 MPH THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES LIKE THE ROTORS ARE DAMAGED OR WARPED. THIS BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN GOING ON NOW FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. I DON'T THINK IT IS VERY SAFE. I HAVE NOTICED ON LS1.COM MANY OTHER FIREBIRD OWNERS HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED. IT IS MOST LIKELY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.
