Someone needs to drive this vehicle, it is absolutely unsafe. The front end and steering shakes violently when under hard braking. I live in a mountain area that requires accurate handling/braking, etc. This vehicle is dangerous to operate and is being ignored by the dealer and now the manufacturer. I believe this problem exist in a large number of vehicles and has been undetected/mis-diagnosed or otherwise non-repaired. I welcome your expert opinion and will make the vehicle available for your inspection.

Have a serious vibration/shaking in the front end during hard braking, most noticeably during downhill braking at speeds of approximately 65 miles per hour. Vehicle becomes difficult to control due to vibration throughout passenger compartment. Front and rear rotors have been serviced repeatedly to no avail and front disk pads have been replaced. New tires and front end allignment have not improved the situation whatsoever. Steering wheel shakes violently with vibration throughout cabin.
