I am ase certified in brakes steering and suspension. My 1992 pontiac transport has developed numerous problems. One ( brakes will fail to engage for no apparent reason with vibration in the pedal. Does not do this all the time only frequently. And two. It also will violently start shuttering at speeds of 40 to 60 MPH.
