I am ase certified in brakes steering and suspension. My 1992 pontiac transport has developed numerous problems. One ( brakes will fail to engage for no apparent reason with vibration in the pedal. Does not do this all the time only frequently. And two. It also will violently start shuttering at speeds of 40 to 60 MPH. I have replaced both ball joints, both tie rods(inner and outer), both wheel bearings, all 4 struts and mounts, both rotors, trans vacuum shift module, trans cooler lines, entire rear brake system, all lines (steel and rubber) radiator and both cv shafts. I am tire of putting money into this pit and it didn't even have 100,000 miles on it when it started and I have invested over $3,000.00 in repairs. This is ridiculous when this very same report has been made in numerous occasions and pontiac will not fix the problem that is a common occurrence and should be a recall of what ever is causing the problem.
