1 Brake Disc Rotor problem

2 Brake Disc Rotor problem

Failure Date: 06/22/2003

Car only has 40000 miles on it and whenever I would brake or come up to a stop light, the wheels would shimmy and the steering wheel would vibrate. I was afraid it would not stop and would cause an accident. I took it to the Chevrolet dealer in waldorf MD. The mechanic said he could find nothing wrong with it and could not make it do it. That was 2 months ago and it still does it all the time. Sounds like all these other similar complaints for this vehicle. . Defective warped rotors. This is very dangerous and I cannot get a dealership to fix it.
