Lately I've noticed that I'm getting A LOT of steering wheel wobble when I touch my brakes at highway speeds (anywhere from 45mph+). My IX only has 3,300 miles on it. Only thing I can think of is a couple weeks back I had to SLAM on my brakes to avoid hitting a damn deer that jumped out onto the street. Other than that, I've driven the car normally since I bought it. No racing, no track, nothing.

What do you guys think it is? Did I warp one of the front rotors somehow

Do you think I would have any luck taking it to the dealership to have it checked out and fixed under warranty potentially? I know the warranty coverage sucks and they'll likely try to screw me, but I'm not sure what the heck just happened to my car. BTW, I'm mod-free, so nothing to worry about there.

 

Try going through a re-bedding procedure of your pads first. If that doesn't work, get the rotors turned.

It's not a defect most likely but rather you clamping your pads on your rotors when they're hot and not moving. Could be something else too but this is the most likely cause.

 

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a shot.

MODS: please delete...I did another search (using different terms) and found a few threads about this...realizing this is a duplicate thread please delete it...thanks!
