Our 2010 works fine breaking on the flat part of the state where we live. But had issues returning from the mountains. The last two down hill spots the van felt like the steering wheel was going to come off and the brakes were going to fly apart. Lot of shimmy and judder. We were not overloaded nor used the brakes excessively. The brakes look find and so do the rotors. Not to say the rotors could be warped. I have driven for years with warped rotors without incident. I guess my question is if I drive with this vehicle doing this what kind of brake failure is to be expected, if any? Is the trade off just annoying brake judder? Would this still do this with new brakes and rotors, that the brakes just got heated too much? BTW my only personal brake issues was with 10yo Suburban pulling a car trailer coming down mountain Colorado. The brakes overheated the wheel bearings started smoking. Almost to the point of catching fire.
