steering wheel shutter -- going to dealer need help

I am going take my car to the dealership on Thursday due to my brakes shuttering getting off the highway, i assume its the rotors but not sure. I thought i had read somewhere that this was a common occurrence but I cant seem to find that thread. What should I tell the dealer? I want to make sure this is covered under warranty and not told this was wear. Any recommendations?

I have only had the car for a month, and have noticed it since i have owned it. Only 18k so i dont think that the pads are the issue. Its almost a grinding feeling...any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated

This problem is addressed in a tsb. In fact I actually brought my car to the dealer for this very same issue today and they are resurfacing the rotors no questions asked. Only thing is, I've read that after around 10,000 miles or so the problem arises again so you have to once again resurface them, or at that point you can switch to aftermarket rotors.

Tell them you have "brake shudder" and that you know many people getting this taken care of under warranty.

Same here, go the TSB done. Re-surfaced rotors & new pads in the front

They got on resurfacing the rears as well, not free = $200

got it back from the dealer, it was that brake jutter thing...fully covered thank god. i also mentioned a really annoying whistle out the rear drivers side window...they had to replace the seal. Did anyone else have this issue? it was really odd, as soon as i got up to 65mph i heard it
