problem #1

Aurora

  • miles
The car has a pronounced 'shudder/vibration' at low speed (around 25mph). The problem intensifies when turning right, especially over uneven pavement. The rotors appear to be warped as they also vibrate under braking, causing the shudder to again intensify. The dealer states that this is a 'common' problem with Aurora's..?
