Rear (ABS) brakes would cause a shimmying effect when applied. Problem had occurred twice before. Front (ABS) brakes were three times replaced, including pads and shoes/rotors and calipers. Took vehicle to dealership & was informed that drums needed to be cut. The problem was intermittent. Dealer offered to accept vehicle as a trade-in.
