braking

when im braking like especially down from higher speeds such as 50 + the wheel seems to vibrate a lot as well as some parts of the car...i dk if this is normal or not and have you ever heard of something like this?

Sounds like warped rotors. Acura put out a TSB on the issue. I had mine resurfaced at 15,500 and then replaced at 16k mi under warrenty.

Good luck

Yep, my ride is now doing the exact same thing. Its really frustrating seeing is how they resurfaced my rotors not 6 months ago.

BTW, what is a TSB? What does it mean for us? Do we go to the dealer and say we want them replaced?

When they resurfaced my rotors the only thing it did was change the speeds that the vibrations happened... it went from 60-70 down to 40-50. Aggrivating.
