What owners wrote
While driving the vehicle pulled to the left and the right when turning. The consumer had the tires rotated but the problem continued. *scc *nlm
When driving on the expressway, when ever I brake the front end shook really hard, took the car in, rotors where warped, so the dealership replaced them. Back on the road the car shook even hard in the front end took to dealership and they fixed the problem and replaced the pads and now I have really loud sound when I stop and when I am on the express way there is a vibration when I go over 70MPH.
