From the time that we purchased this vehicle, we have had an on-going problem with the brakes. When we are at a speed of greater than 60mph and begin braking, we have a vibration in the front end. It is afffecting the handling of the vehicle. The first time it was taken to the dealer on 4-20-99-they resurfaced the rotors. On 5-19-99, it went in for the same problem-they replaced the rotors. On 6-15-99, it went in for the same problem-they replaced the rotors, balanced and rotated the tires. On 7-20-99, it went in for the same problem, this time they resurfaced the rotors. As we drove this vehicle home, we discovered that the vehicle still has a vibration in the front end when braking. The service tech that we have dealt with tell us there is nothing wrong with the front end.
While backing vehicle up, right rear brakes locked up. Black streaks on driveway (1/5/99). Emergency brakes were not used. Had contacted dealer (1/20/99), pickard dodge 530 e. Cumberland pathway corbin ky 40701). Wanted old car back, was charging $8,900.
