Vehicle lurches forward after brakes are applied. Vehicle jumps forward a few feet before stopping completely. Happens when vehicle is stopped. Last incident resulted to impact with another car in parking lot. Dealer could not find fault on two occasions. Says it may be due to air conditioner coming on.
Brake rotors would be pulsating when brakes were applied. Vehcle would start to shake. Brakes would make grinding noises. Vehicle failed to stop like it should when brakes were in use. Would need to drive slowly (40mph) instead of 60mph to stop vehicle from shaking. Taking vehicle to dealer to check.
While driving on the highway at 45mph another vehicle pulled out in front. Consumer hit brakes on dry pavement and wheels locked up/vehicle skidded. Contact dealer, was not able to help. When going downhill and some what slippery surface, such as snow, the brakes would lock up and the vehicle kept on sliding down the hill. Replaced the brake rotors, front brakes only, and tires still having the same problem.
