The brakes shudder and shake the car until you think it is going to come apart as you apply them at any speed. This car used to belong to my brother and a salesman drove it and was scared to death the whole time. It has about 90,000 on it now and he gave it to me to try to find out what to do about it. He is a multi-millionaire and doesn't have time to monkey with this stuff. He just buys more cars if he needs them. He has spent money to try to fix the issue with repair shops, rotors, brake pads, you name it. He even has a speed shop that he holds world records producing fast things and has a great staff than can fix anything on earth. But that is not his real business. He wouldn't spend anymore time or have anyone else try to fix it anymore until the factory owns up to what is going on with it. I was going to let my daughter drive it but with a new baby I can't allow that. It is extremely scary to drive and I have since found out that this was a well known problem. He really didn't know it was this bad.
