Sound like warped rotors ! Or they tightened the lug's too tight ? Bring it back to your service rep. !

I don't think they replaced the rotors, I just had the same thing done to mine and all they did was resurface them which basically means shave them even thinner, I got new brake pads too under warranty and Broke them in for 250 miles like the guy said, and just lastn ight I Had to brake hard and I felt it wasn't as smooth as before, my solution is in about 2500 miles I'm just gonna get crossed drilled rotors and good brakes. I think they prob tightened the lugs too tight, take it back tell them they must resurface again, they say they will only do it once but tell them you shouldn't have this problem. Then see what happens but go real easy on them for 250 miles. Anthony.

You warped your rotors. I was told that if you don't tighten all the lugs to the same torque specs the rotors tend to warp. If you go back to the dealer they can fix it. I'd try and talk them into replacing the rotors rather than resurfacing them (also called "turning" the rotors).


Nice to see you made the jump from Streetsourcemag.com to Acura-cl.com.

I'm starting to sense some vibration also, under heavy braking.
