When applying brakes steering shakes violently and maneuvers to the right or left. Dealer replaced and resurfaced the rotors twice which did not correct the problem.
Whenever brakes are applied they cause vehicle to wander across the road while traveling. Dealer notified, and all rotors were turned twice. But problem still reoccurring.
Excessive wear of brake rotors;. at 1,349 miles of wear both front rotors were replaced. 13,949 miles, both front and rear rotors needed to be replaced. Dealer notified, but would not replace the rotors because the warranty was up. Consumer traded this vehicle in for another.
Been to the dealer 6 times for the brakes. When braking from 60 mph+, the truck shakes violently. Repairs last 3,000 miles, then it returns. I have filed a complaint with DaimlerChrysler. I will file a law suit if this truck is not replaced, it seems very dangerous.

While traveling down the highway at appox. 65 mph I began to apply the brakes, the entire vehicle and steering wheel shook violently. This came without warning, after a few gentle pushes on the brake in the next few miles the shudder was less violent. It now feels as if the rotors are warped, I had the rotors turned at 6500 miles and now it seems as they are warped again. In recent days I have been careful to note the vehicles behavior, it seems that after 5-6 stoplights or braking periods in quick succession that the next few stops are especially violent, and then a few stops later it goes away. The violent shaking is strong enough to cause problems at highway speeds, I am now confined to <45 mph until the vehicle is inspected next week.
