4 Brake Disc problem

Failure Date: 04/21/1999

From the time that we purchased this vehicle, we have had an on-going problem with the brakes. When we are at a speed of greater than 60mph and begin braking, we have a vibration in the front end. It is afffecting the handling of the vehicle. The first time it was taken to the dealer on 4-20-99-they resurfaced the rotors. On 5-19-99, it went in for the same problem-they replaced the rotors. On 6-15-99, it went in for the same problem-they replaced the rotors, balanced and rotated the tires. On 7-20-99, it went in for the same problem, this time they resurfaced the rotors. As we drove this vehicle home, we discovered that the vehicle still has a vibration in the front end when braking. The service tech that we have dealt with tell us there is nothing wrong with the front end.
