Help!! Brake problems...

Okay... just recently I've been getting this braking issue when braking at about 10mph (or just very low speeds). It feels like the abs or vdc is kicking in. However... no lights come on when this happens. It makes a noise that can be heard from inside the car.... but not a squeaking noise. I can feel it on my brake pedal. Also recently when I come to not a complete stop and accelerate again kinda quickly... the slip light comes on and the car doesn't lags... I'm not sure if it's related. But yeah... does anyone have any idea whats wrong with my car?

Check the sensor wires going to the wheel speed sensors, I haven't had much experience with Infinity but on GM vehicles they were almost always the problem.

If the brake pedal is makin a vibration, it could just be that the pads haven't warmed up all which may make the vdc/abs pulse the brakes so they don't lock up. For the vdc kickin in when you go to give it some gas after slowin do. On BMW's the dsc aka vdc does that anytime it thinks its getting to much power to a wheel, even though it doesn't feel like it.

A couple mls. but if you have rust from the rain that could make it happen. Also how long have you had your brakes on your car

i've had it for a while. I had my rotors resurfaced though.... so hopefully its not something electrical... and just i need new rotors and pads or something.

oh ok. will don't forget that resurfacing the rotors may not alway make them absolutly smooth. I guess just check out your brakes with a flashlight to see how much pad u have left.
