Continual brake problems. Have had car in shop 3 times since Sept. Of 2003 for brake problems. Even after my daughter took the vechicle to the shop, the brakes still made high pitched noise when stopping. Just had car inspected in March...passed nys inspection with flying colors...less than 2 months later, car seriously vibrated braking on curves and downhill on a recent day trip, and almost went out of control while driving at 10 mph below speed limit in the mountains. Car passed nys inspection late March 2001. Car has been in shop for brake problems: August 2003 at 29000 miles, Feb. 2004 at approx. 40,000 miless, and is scheduled to be fixed again now. Even after brakes are fixed they still have some movement, and make a high pitched sound when stopping.
While driving there was vibration. Also, vehicle rocked back and forth. Upon engaging the brake the shimming became irratic. Vehicle was difficult to control. Vehicle had 35000 miles on it, and has been taken in five times to dealer for the same problem. However, problem recurred.
