Hi
I have a Mercury Cougar 2001, 60,000 miles v6 engine.
When I am stopping my cars starts shaking. It started to do this 2 years ago and I thought I needed my brakes fixed.
So I had my front brakes and rotors changed and it still seemed to shake. It wasn't as bad. So I took it in to see what it was and they said they found nothing wrong.
It wasn't doing it that bad so I let it go but it started getting worse little by little everytime I stop. I took it in again and they said my brakes where fine but my rotors are worped. So I had those changed and It is still getting worse. It seems when I stop my seat is vribrating and not so much the steering wheel any more.
I'm not sure if I should take it to a brake specialist or if it is something that is still under warrenty at the dealer.
thank you
Patty

if the vibration is from the seat, have your rear brakes inspected, the drum(s) are out of round!
