Brakes

So when I'm driving at low speeds and coming to a stop the brakes tend to feel like they are applying on and off. There is no ABS light but i was wondering if anyone else had tis problem and corrected it.

How's the brake fluid level? Have you checked the rotors to make sure they aren't warped? Do you feel any difference in the pedal when the brakes feel like they are not applying?

Front rotors are warped. Get you new ones. Not even worth turning the old ones. Labor will cost you ad much as the new ones these days.

Bed the new pads in correctly and be sure you torque lug nuts by hand in 2 steps. No impact gun. I also suggest if you slam on the brakes to come to a stop, put the tranny in neutral so you can take your foot off the brake pedal. This will allow the pads to come away from the rotor to cool more evenly. Automatic tranny vehicles warp rotors quicker than manual vehicles because at a light, the brakes usually aren't applied on manual vehicles.

Do you notice the pulsating pedal gets faster or slower as the vehicle speed is fast or slow? In other words as you approach a light, do you notice the pedal pulsation slows down as the vehicle slows down? If so that's warped rotors.
