The Pontiackk is going in for new designer dino juice tomorrow. The oil life monitor finally tripped after abut 7,000 miles.
While it's in the dealer's shop, I've asked them to take a look at a front end shimmy I've been experiencing lately.
It's flippin annoying to get random arm massages from a new car.
I'm guessing a front caliper or both are not releasing and dragging a bit.
Can't be warped rotors as the brakes are smooth when applied.
Doubtful it's tires as they show no abnormal wear and it's intermittent.
Likewise for alignment, no wierd wear and the problem comes and goes.
Anybody experience this feature or have any ideas?

- It happens intermittently
- Generally happens when the car is cold, say first 15 - 20 miles
- Happens on a wide range of road surfaces, (highway, secondary, city streets)
- Does not seem to be speed dependent, happens from 25 - 80
- Will correct itself in a few mintues
- Does seem to happen after hitting the brakes but not every time
- There is no brake shudder when the brakes are engaged
