my brakes are funny. is it ABS or just me?

when i brake semi-hard, or not even that hard going over rough asphalt and potholes, i can feel feedback on the brake. it's like a hard, vibrating feeling. im just thinking it's the anti-lock, but then again, i dont remember it doing that when i first got the car...

you sure the rotors are not warped? this is a very common problems with the tl/cl's, pretty much when braking the pedal and wheel start to vibrate and shake, i had the same problem, it was covered under warranty.

Hmm...I've been having the same problem too ever since I bought the car. However, it ONLY happens when I'm slow rolling up a steepy driveway entrance while breaking. I wonder if it's an issue that needs to be checked :T

My 99 does it when i brake and go over rough areas. I had it checked out and my rotors are fine. I had about 40% brakepad left tho, might be it.. we'll see when i replace the pads.
