15K miles and already pulsating
I have 15K miles on my 06 6MT coupe, I honestly do not drag or track my car, it is simply my daily driver for school and work. Everytime I brake, I feel vibration in the wheel and the pulsation in the wheel, its almost like a throbbing, as I come to a stop, the car tugs at me. Is this normal or could my pads or rotors be replaced under warranty?
Could be a bad rotor (not really a "warped" rotor per se as there's no such thing - what actually happens is you have pad material permanently stuck to the surface that makes the surface uneven causing the pulsation), or could also be a tire out of balance/round. Bring it in!

its not HORRIBLE, its just very slightly but I know for sure it wasnt there before. My brakes also dont break how they used to, but obviously its from wear. I will take it in when I have a chance and let them check it out.
