problem #2

Mar 312011

Sorento 6-cyl

  • 37,945 miles
Car shakes when braking. Rear brakes pads worn down to 30%. had rear rotors turned and new pads installed at 37,945 shaking reduced somewhat. At 41,252 had rear brake rotors replaced, (because they where warped) and brake pads replaced, car still shakes. Mechanic states problem is in the drive train which somehow binds-ups when braking and is destroying the rear bakes. Shakes.

problem #1

Jan 312006

Sorento

  • Automatic transmission
  • 7,350 miles
Braking system not working properly. First time I applied the brakes to stop at a light and they were slow reacting, which caused my to go into the intersection. Second time I was going about 15 mph and went to brake and the pedal went down to the floor without stopping the car. Dealership did not find anything wrong, but clearly there is a problem.
