Hi,

I have a 2000 honda accord 4 cyl 2.4L with 74000Km, I have noticed that when I break from over 50KPH that my steering vibrates or pulsates just a little until it goes down to 40KPH, it never does it if I break below 45 KPH.
I have no such problem while driving at any speed.
I checked the break fluid its ok. And the car does not make any noise while braking. Hope you can help me... I love my Honda.

Thank You
Joe

Sounds like you front brake rotors are warped " out of round" They will need to be taken off and turned and the front pads replaced. But have your mechanic check it and make sure that is the problem.


I hope I have help you in some way, if so please leave feed back.

Please don't have the rotors turned. Not to knock your advice but from experience, they will again be pulsating. The rotors aren't that bad to buy new and they can stand the heat better than the thinner turned rotors. From experience, NEW in this case is the route.
