Wheel and/or Brake Problem

I have noticed in the last couple of weeks that the brakes (feels like the driver front) grab every now and then when I am slowly pulling out or just getting moving. Any ideas? I am taking the car in tomorrow to get it fixed, load me with some ammo for the dealer. I did recently have all four tires and wheels replaced, could Les Schwab have screwed something up?

Rotors might be warped.

warped rotors don't do that. They shake your front end and steering wheel when you brake at 40 miles or higher speed.

Definitely, you know when you have a warped rotor, you feel it in the pedal, a pulsating feel, we had one on a vehicle at work that was so bad, it almost knocked your foot off the pedal! Why do you need "ammo", it does no good to go in being defensive, that only creates other problems!

I always need ammo with this dealer because although they did build a great product, they think a little TOO highly of themselves and their product. They honestly feel that unless the parts are flying off the car, their is nothing wrong with it.

Ok, the service manager said that the brake pedal "springing" or feeling like it sticks when you first start up and start to drive off is normal, IF you happen to push the brake pedal before the ABS actuator has a chance to charge.

Re: Wheel and/or Brake Problem

oh yeah, that is an awful feeling. you hear the "burp" of the ABS and when you step on the brake as the car is doing that, it makes you feel like you've broken something. [img]/w3timages/icons/crazy.gif[/img]
