uhhhh....i dont think this much vibration is normal. First off it's never done it before. and it's getting worse every day. I can feel the vibrations in my upper leg now. For some reason when i have to break down at a stop it feels like the car wants to take off on me. It's goin in on monday for sure!

What did you find out, ??? Sounds like Brake failure to me, exspecially if its getting worse, I know ABS wil do that from time to time but shoud'nt do it all the time

I had them fix the clicking sound coming from the exhaust hangers and the cooling system though...hell i wasnt going to let them get away with no work

There is a recal on the breaks with ABS, check with you dealer if it affects your car.

you wouldnt get that kind of shaking from working abs and standstill, if you were getting it while moving i would say warped rotors, check the recall

best of luck

Hrmm, wonder if this thread applies to me, but for some reason now, anytime I am applying brakes, the steering wheel shakes pretty aggressively, not that aggressive, but just enough for you to tell your self what the heck is going on.

I would say it's either warped rotors,pad failure and I had it once
when a front tire had a broken belt that only showed up at 70 mph
or when brakes applied.
By the way it was a Firestone tire!
