Front rotor defective, problem has not been corrected and the brake pedal, steering column and front end vibrate and pulsate. This creates a loss of control especially at highway speed.
New vehicle required new rack and pinion steering, which caused noise, the brakes replaced which were causing vibration in the steering wheel while braking.
