Someone needs to drive this vehicle, it is absolutely unsafe. The front end and steering shakes violently when under hard braking. I live in a mountain area that requires accurate handling/braking, etc. This vehicle is dangerous to operate and is being ignored by the dealer and now the manufacturer. I believe this problem exist in a large number of vehicles and has been undetected/mis-diagnosed or otherwise non-repaired. I welcome your expert opinion and will make the vehicle available for your inspection.

When on interstate(60+mph)car cuts off, not able to steer, all power goes out. Not safe to drive on interstate, I almost had a car slam into me, he didn't know my car lost power& I had a hard time getting over into an emergency lane w/ no steering. The car does not always start right away. All the dashboard lights come on. This is the fourth time this has happened. The dealership has yet to fix problem, and do not know what causes it to cut off. They claim no responsibility if anything happens while I'm driving the car.

Have a serious vibration/shaking in the front end during hard braking, most noticeably during downhill braking at speeds of approximately 65 miles per hour. Vehicle becomes difficult to control due to vibration throughout passenger compartment. Front and rear rotors have been serviced repeatedly to no avail and front disk pads have been replaced. New tires and front end allignment have not improved the situation whatsoever. Steering wheel shakes violently with vibration throughout cabin.
