Hi,

This problem seemed to start suddenly.
When we press the brake pedal the car vibrates. It happens at highway speeds all the way down to around 25 mph.
I need to know if this is a safety issue.
We have new Michelin's on the front.

Thanks,

Jack

you need to take your car to a shop quickly, your problem is anything from tar on your rotor to a loose or broken tie rod - that is in charge of stabilizing your car during braking and turning.
