Vibration when braking

[2000DodgeStratusSE]

Hello,

I had my rear brakes down about a month ago, I had the shoes and drums done. As soon as I picked up my car I noticed vibration in the brake pedal when braking, I can notice it a little in the steering wheel as well. I turned right back around and took my car back, the guy took it for a drive, said nothing was wrong, but had the mechanic look at it again. They said nothing was wrong. Three days later when putting on my ER brake, it lost complete tension. I took it back in a week and a half later. They said the brakes were fine, adjusted the tension in the ER brake and said it wasn't as tense as it should be, and to bring it back in a week later (couldn't get to it that day), and said they have to take apart the ER brake console and see if it is a cable or if it is the rachet. So I did, and when I took it back, they said the ER brake was fine and that they think a cable was stuck, because the rear brakes that I just had done were glazed, and worn down excessively, so they redid the brake job at no charge.

Ok, so I pick it up again, and it still vibrates. So about a week later I took my car in for inspection and asked to have my brakes checked again, because the vibration still happens. They said my brakes are fine and they resurfaced the two front rotors and that should help the vibration. Well it didn't! As a matter of fact, I think the vibration is a little worse. NOW I notice my front right tire is wearing down on the outer side of the tire. What also upsets me is that they touched my front brakes which were done last Sept, I am thinking they have nothing to do with the vibration since it only started when getting the rear ones done.

My car never had vibration until I got the rear brakes done that day. Does anyone have any idea of what can really be wrong, and if I should fight this company??? I don't know how many times I have to keep going back there to be told everything is fine and it isn't!

I mean, I tried that same day to get it taken care of, and now my very expensive tire is wearing down.

What is your take on this?
I don't know alot about cars, so I appreciate all your help.

Thanks!

When was the last time the ALL the rotors were changed? Bad rotors can cause bad vibrations when braking sometimes. Also check the spark plugs and wires. Some people have to get new brakes and rotors to solve. That is what I did.
