I've started to notice that when I break my car starts to shake. Could it be the tires or breaks??? Help please!

 

Possibly warped rotors... The stock rotors that came with the TL's are notorious for warping. Take it in if it's still under warranty otherwise I would suggest going for an aftermarket rotor.

 

hey, do you mean that when you breack fast you feel like the weel has a vibrator in it??
> happened to me friday when i had to stop from 142-0 because or a redlight far off. i sorta downshifted with ss to help the cause...maibe thats the reason.

 

Its the rotors. I just took in my tl about 5 days ago to get that same thing fixed, they'll do it under warranty.

 

the rotors. if you feel the pulsing/shaking while applying the brakes, its the rotors

 

i thought the u felt pulsating w/ ABS? cuz my steering shake as well when i brake at high speeds

 

there should be little to no shaking whatsoever in the wheel when stopping from high speeds. If you get any noticeable shaking, it means your rotors need to be turned or replaced.

 

shaking in the wheel typically means the front rotors, if you feel the shaking but not in the steering wheel and more in the seat, that tends to be the rear rotors.

 

what is the difference in price of buyin OEM Rotors vs. Aftermarket ones?

 

Thanks guys. Thought I would have seen the last of the dealership when I got my tranny replaced...I guess not.

 

Yep, warped rotors. Happens on 1st and 2nd generation TL's and RL's. Sucks

Mine are just a bit warped, slight vibration in the steering wheel when I brake at high speeds. It is definitely not the ABS.

 

To moahdriven: Which dealer did you have rotors replaced under warranty? I have 40k on tls and just started shaking when braking. thanks.

 

most likely its your rotors! bcuz my car was doing the same thing! the rotors were warped!

 

I am going through this dilema as we speak with warped rotors. My good friend is an acura mechanic and he mentioned to me even with replaceing the rotors under warrenty they are sure to warp again. He suggested buying Tru Stop sloted rotors they are gaurantied not to warp. He actually has them on his acura and he says the stoping power is incrediable. He gets a really good deal on them as well, so I will probably purchase them from him. He also stated that the Acura dealership he works for has actually been buying them from him for customers that have had there rotors replaced a few times. By the way if you do go with the rotor replacement under warenty insist that they replace them and not just turn them....
