I just bought a 1994 Eagle Talon ES. My front end shakes and gets worse the faster I go, I have new tires on the front, new brakes and rotors. Sometimes the brakes get really hot and smell too. Also, sometimes when I shift down gears the car will die. My check engine light is constantly on.

Sounds like your front wheels need to be balanced.

Front tire balance usually cause shake, alignment causes tire ware and drift or pulling. some vehicles have excessive amounts of uncorrective play in front design and the use what is called a steering damper ( a cross ways shock) to eliminate the slop. This is most likely te culprit. It usually acts up at around 40mph ( triggered by hitting a small bump) and above, it causes the steering wheel to shake.( I've had them shake my watch off). The check engine light would be unrelated. Brake smell can be caused by sticking calipers or a master cylinder push rod keeping the brakes lightly applied.

1st, you may need an alignment. Go in an have your brakes checked and you may need to bleed the brake system, or have it bled.
2nd, the smell? Brakes usually dont smell, it may be your clutch or there may be some fluid leaking on something hot.
3rd, your check engine light is responding to something electrical in nauture. It may be anything from you air intake temp to the mass air flow meter. That would explain the car stalling upon downshift. There is an error or problem with the air flow. Does your exhaust smell like gas? If so, you are running rich which means you have to much fuel being delivered, which is caused by faulty air intake components.

Get your tires rotated and balanced - chances are they were not balanced good when the new tires were put on. It should only cost about $30. If you brakes get real hot then they prob. didn't put them on right and the pad is always touching your rotor. The check engine light could be anything...

your previous rotors that you position on are probubly warped. If it changed into merely executed, it will be the pads seating into the rotors nonetheless. Did you've the rotors grew to change into (decrease) that ought to preserve the vibration. i do not comprehend what the noise is yet once you've 2 surfaces which aren't any further flat that may make a squeeky noise, vibrations contained in the pedal, and or a grindish noise. Your astounding guess may be to get them regarded at by somebody else, many times it truly is loose. Worst case call who positioned your pads in and tell them your no longer satisfied with the prevalent of there artwork, they ought to provide to take a second look at it. it ought to easily be the seating of a clean pad on worn rotor. i'd have someone atleast take the wheel off and promises it a reliable look. the hot pads is often defective. And which will be lined below warfare..

my old car (Renault Clio) had the shakes constantly. it was one of the wheel bearings. my fiance had a Renault Laguna and it did the same. only this time it was much worse, and the car ended up non-driveable. we did cane it back from the south of france though.
