Angry Grinding/Vibration when braking!

I've searched but found nothing. When I brake hard or brake while turning at low speeds, there is a grinding sound and vibration in my brake pedal. The sound seems to be coming from the front of the car. Not sure what could be causing this... any info/advice?

So my problem is warped rotors? Do I just take it in to Acura to get it fixed?

Yes. If you have only a few thousand miles, you might be able to get it done under warranty. If you have a lot of miles on the car, you will need to pay to have this done.

I have 1500 miles, so hopefully it'll be covered. Thanks CG.

Before you go, consider printing this out and bringing it with you...

Are you sure you're not activating the ABS??? Not that hard to do especially on wet or loose road surfaces.

I get this after washing my car when braking to a stop on a downward incline. After that it doesn't happen again. Could it be the rust being wiped off by the brake pads?

So I went to the acura dealer and they said it's not warped rotors. They said it was ABS activating, but i get grinding/vibrations even through the gas pedal sometimes. But both the grinding and vibration only comes when I'm backing out of my driveway and my first stop sign, and it completely stops after i start driving.
