THIS STEERING PROBLEM I FEEL HAS A LITTLE TO DO WITH THE BRAKES AND THE ROTORS BUT EVEN AFTER REPLACING THEM IT STILL SHAKES WHEN SLOWING DOWN. I HAVE TOLD COLE HONDA THIS, THEY SAY IT IS THE ROAD. SURE IS FUNNY MY OTHER THREE CARS DO NOT DO THIS.

My husband and I knew going into this car that we would have to get brakes more often than other cars, but we did it anyway. I have been told by two mechanics that the brake pads have been changed already and are fine, but with the steering wheel shaking that I need to have my rotors resurfaced or replaced. Now, after reading more reviews, I wonder if it could be the calipers.

I have had many cars over the years including Chrysler and Dodge and have good luck with them, but this one has changed my mind. Brakes and rotors shouldn't go bad this soon.
