1 Brake Disc Pads problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2003

I purchased my 2001 Acura new in July of 2000. Over its life time of three years & 37k miles its had the brakes worked on four times. *break pads replace four times *rotors machined down twice *rotors replaced twice basically during normal rapid braking the Cl's steering wheel shakes rapidly. Acura had stood behind there product and replaced the rotors and pads at no charge. One major safety problem early on, is there was a problem with the brakes. The brakes just didn't feel like they could stop the car. I know until the brakes were replaced I was driving a totally unsafe car that could not stop as it should. Even now after replacing the brakes so many times if do rapid braking the wheel will shake. I feel the Cl's brakes are inadequate for the size, weight and horsepower of the automobile. If the brakes were engineered correctly, the first replacement pads and rotors would have solved the problem. I have owned many cars over the years, I own a 95 Acura integra & a 94 Nissan pathfinder. No matter how I drive these cars or any other car, the wheel never shakes during any braking. My 95 Acura integra has 110k miles and the brake pads have been replaced twice due to the fact they were worn out. The rotors have never needed to be replaced. Thank you for your concern with my problems with my Acura Cl. If I can be of further assistance please contact me via email or telephone. Eric correa.
