yup, your rotors are warped. take it to the dealer, tell them what happens, and they should fix it under warranty

i've had my front rotors machined AND front pads replaced FREE under warranty twice now. i'm at 19k

Mine does the same thing. Its the feeling you get in a stick when you leave the clutch out too long as you come to a stop. To me, it feels like the torque converter isn't unlocking quickly enough or the AC compressor clutch is doing something funny.

I always us 93 octane. What Mdaniel says is exactly what happens. This is a 30K car, it shouldn't do stupid shit like this.
