brake pedal shakes when braking to a stop (not my rotors)
ive noticed this ever since i have been using my heat cause of the cold. i will be coming up to a stoplight or stopsign and right around the 5 mph area as im braking, i will feel the brake pedal vibrate some.
obviously its not my rotors cause its at 5 mph and they were just cut. do you think its something with my heater, cause it doesnt seem to do it when the heat is off.
o and i briefly searched, but i figured i would get a quicker answer here.

I Really don't think it has anything to do with your heat.
Have you had any of these performed recently:
Alignment ?
Wheel Balance?
Hit any extravagant holes in the road?

front and rear have been resurfaced and alignment, balance have been taken care of a few months back when i rotated my tires.
the thing is, this doesnt happen when im braking at anyother speed except like 5 mph. its right before i come to a complete stop.
im asking if it has anything to do with the heat, cause i was driving tonight, with the heat on it did it, then i turned it off, like 5 minutes later, it didnt do it.

Does it feel like its grinding at 5 mph?
Might be warped. Warped rotors cause are uneven rotor surfaces which will cause that grinding or vibration.

I did have a situation where my 1st car had the rotors resurfaced and I was told not to do heavy braking for a while. They still ended up warping.
I would think it is a bad recut job.

at 5 mph, do u honestly think it could be from rotors? it seems too slow to even tell. and my steering wheel does not shake, thats why i dont think its them.

it has to be brakes, wheels or axles.

Check motor / tran mounts. It may be that one of the front motor mounts are kaput. My fronts went bad (fluid drained), and I got a vibration. Heater and front mounts (I think) use vacuum which may be the common denominator.
