Unhappy Front Brake issue

Just bought a used '09 a few weeks back & notice today (twice) while braking/slowing down on a freeway off ramp I felt & heard a really bad pulsating/vibration/shuddering. Any ideas what would cause that? From what I can tell the front pads still look good. The TSX has just over 32k miles on it. The rear pads look almost new. Would this be a warranty issue?

Brake problem 2010 TSX V6 16,100 miles
Just got back from dealer and boy I'm pissed!

Went to Vegas last week and the brakes were very bad and felt a vibration! Vegas Mechanic told me they have had many cars with the same problem! Told me brakes are not covered and to check at my local dealer if they can do anything,

After dealing with dealer in San Diego they told me the same thing not covered. They told me to call Acura. Acura said they would split it with me and only charge me $100 for the front brakes. After I said No I want you to pay for it all they said let us look at the car again and measure how much breaks are left. Long story short They paid for he front brakes! They also said there is a service bulletin now on the front brakes. After a few phone calls a lot of time they said they will fix the car charge me $150 for the back brakes and to get reimbursed from Acura.

After all of this I pick up the car today and they put a dent in the side!!!

Then they said this could not have happened here!

Well I did not see it when I dropped it off and the paper work did not show any dents! The manger said he will fix it now.

To top it all off they gave the car back on fumes gas tank on E

I had a 1/4 tank when I dropped it off!

What a WASTE OF TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a service bulletin for this work on the front brakes and it should be covered under your warranty. The bulletin is "TSB 09-054: (2009-2010 TSX) Front Brakes Judder and/or Squeal". You can find a link the bulletin in this post. I just had this work done on my car along with a couple other things in the service bulletin list without any problems. Good luck!

I have 3857 miles on my 2010 V6 and the brakes just started to shudder. I hope this is not a sign of things to come. Making an appointment to take it in this week.
