SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC
AS IN THE TECHNICAL BULLETIN THE BRAKES ARE VERY POOR AND PULSATING. AT 12000 TO 14000 THE FIRST TIME, IF YOU ARE GOING XWAY SPEED AND TRIED TO STOP THE CAR VIBRATED VERY BAD. I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A BULLETIN TO REPLACE THE ROTORS. THAT WAS DONE, THE CAR WAS OK UNTIL ANOTHER 12000 MILES. SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ROTORS AGAIN. AS A " GOOD CUSTOMER BENIFIT" I KNOW I WILL HAVE TO GO THRU THIS AGAIN. AFTER 2000 MILES THE BRAKES ARE PULSING AGAIN. I HAVE A '97 PASSPORT WITH 75000 MILES AND STILL HAVE THE ORIGONAL BRAKES. THIS IS MY WIFES , THERE IS NO HI SPEED STARTING AND STOPPING. I THINK THIS WILL BE A SAFTY PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE OR AT LEAST AN EXPENSIVE ONE EVERY 12000 TO 14000 MILES. *AK
