Is it just me or does anyone else's steering wheel shake REALLY hard when you are past 90 MPH? when you put on the brakes it is very annoying. is there something wrong with my TL or what?

 

if your wheel is shaking while your driving and not braking then your tires need to be rebalanced. If your wheel is shaking when you brake then your brake rotors are warped and need to be resurfaced.

 

My steering wheel shakes when braking

I also find it very annoying

where can I get my rotors resurfaced

thanx

 

I had the same problem, almost. Using the breaks on the highway between 80-70 mph would cause the wheel to shake. Dealer replaced front pads + rotors. No problems now and a whole front break job for free.

 

acura does it. if your car is still under warranty it should be covered.

 

I thought when u brake at about 70-80mph it would be normal. Well mines does do that so what is the warranty on brake pads a rotors. Please tell me It isnt 12month/12k. On Jan 22nd it will be one year for my car.

 

Is it NOT normal for your steering wheel to shake while braking. Your rotors are warped. As far as I know the warranty for the rotors should be the same as the car warranty. Call Acura to make sure.

 

our cars do have a known issue with the brake rotors. If you talk to Acura they'll tell you. Our brakes are POS, acura knows about this issue and will resurface it free if the car is still in warranty. they may even replace your pads.

 

thanks for the replies. i will take it to Acura tomorrow. also i need to pick up some touch up paint. i moved my lisence plate down and there are some small chips of paint where the factory mounted it:o . how much do you think the paint will be?

 

Touch up paint is 4.95 here. I hope u dont got a WDP car, all it does for me is cover the scratch so it wont rust. You can still see the chips.

 

so that is at the dealer? how much is in the bottle? i have a satin silver metallic car.

 

The bottle I think its about 1 fl.ounce. I may be wrong i havent used it in a while. Also mine came wit the car. Just think of it as a Jumbo nail polish bottle.

 

that should do it. i think i might get 2 just in case i was thinking touch up paint was gonna cost me around $15.

 

After reading all this....I went to Acura and they resurfaced the rotors and got new brake pads. They also fixed the annyong sun roof rattle

 

that is good they did all that! i got some touch up paint today. one of my buddies at acura gave it to me for free. i didn't ask about the shaking cuz i was in a hurry. i will do that some time this week

 

My front rotor and brake pads were not covered. I had the rotor re-surfaced and pads replaced at 26K miles.

Acura of Pleasanton and Steven Creek both told me that this is not part of warranty and is treated as wear and tear item.

Cost me close to $300 to get this done.

 

fricken a....tru that...
i got my front brakes replaced at around 30k...
and i said my steering wheel shakes like a mad man when i'm braking in the 85-65 area....
they said that's just how it is....
i said rotors warped? they said prolly not...

doh

 

I should have not paid 300 bucks. I went in and just said my wheel shakes at 90 mph when braking. He well there is a bullitine out for that and ill take care of it. But I dont know why I got new Pads to. I have 9400 miles on my car.

My parents had to get new brake pads and stuff at 14k on there car its was totally wore down. O yea and its a Suburban.

 

Since it was free u will take pride in using it. Free stuff always well much better to use.

 

so true i cant wait to use some tomorrow
