BRAKES VIBRATE AND DO NOT SLOW VEHICLE ADEQUATELY. WHEN SLOWING TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS INTO LOW GEAR AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES AND LURCHES FORWARD. TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS SUDDEN ACCELERATION ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IS REQUIRED TO AVOID LOOSING CONTROL. THIS IS UNSAFE AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF NOT ADDRESSED PROPERLY.

WHEN CUTTING WHEELS SHARPLY WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE VIBRATES BADLY. VEHICLE TAKEN TO DEALER 3-4 TIMES, CANNOT FIX PROBLEM. *AK
