Annoying Brake Pulsing

I picked up my new G4 FWD and the only problem I have is while normal to moderate braking I get this pulsing in the pedal, same thing you would expect when you had your milage at 50K. This pulsing has no effect on the braking it is just the pedal feedback.
This isn't my first Acura as we just traded a 3G with almost 50K on the speedo.

Anyone else had this problem?

If your describing it correctly, that is not normal at all. In my "4G" FWD TL, I've noticed a great improvement than my previous 3G, so I'd take it back immediately. I braked one time very hard and had no vibrations or pulsing action that you describe. I had that twice in my 3G when I braked very hard, it felt very unnatural and unsafe.

Sounds like warped rotors.

Brakes Pulsing

Thanks for the replies,

Your both right, I Took the TL back to the Dealer and they turned the rotors, much better now....I think what was describing was the ABS Valve shuttling which emmits a noise as you described, I don't mind it if I'm in PANIC Braking situation , at least it's telling me it's working...

Have a safe 4th...All.

I had the same issue when I bought my car last month. I though originally since the car was new maybe it just needed some time to wear. Unfortunately, I was wrong took it to the dealer today they resurfaced the front rotors, replaced the pads, and balanced the front two tires. Now the brakes work perfect. Sucks that I only have 1000 miles on the car and having this issue. Where is the quality control when this car left the Acura plant??? Other than this incident I still love the car.

Had the same issue, took the car and complained and the dealer replaced all 4 rotors at n/c. Brakes smooth as butter now. The dealer even painted the rotors to prevent the back ones from rusting.
