Hi,

Do you notice anything in the steering wheel? I ask because a shutter can be the result of warped brake rotors, or it could be related to the ABS.

When you have this happen, do you hear anything actuating? Have you checked both front and rear brakes for wear? When pads are extremely worn, this can happen as well.

Take a look at this link and let me know if anything helps:

Let me know.

Take care,

joe
