Service: 7am-6pm Open Today! Tweets by Bohn Toyota. As you prepare to stop, you notice that the brake pedal appears to be vibrating. And so you want to know what gives? Why does my car shake when I brake? And then, what can I do about it? Every car and situation is different, of course, but if your car vibrates when braking, in most cases, the cause is not the wheel alignment or a bad tire, but the braking apparatus itself.
If the problem is unrelated to your brakes, it can probably be traced to your wheel alignment, an extremely worn tire, or a steering wheel problem. Other possibilities, though less likely, include a damaged axle shaft or loose lug nuts. For cars featuring disc brakes, the most common explanation of the shaking is a warped or malfunctioned rotor. Warping can occur over time, naturally, due to the heat unleashed by the friction between the brake pad and rotor.
It feels like the brake is catching and releasing almost like a train chugging as it leaves the station. Any advice to what may be the cause? I cant afford to go to a mechanic shop and cant afford to trade it in for another bill. Please help. Hi Shane, Is there a possibility that the other front brake caliper is holding on? Drive vehicle for five miles then make sure both front wheels are the same temperature, or you could wait until you experience the problem then check that the wheel temperatures are the same on the same axle.
They will vary back to front. Hi Kailee, It sounds like the engine is miss firing. Is the Check Engine Light on or flashing? Check out the NVH diagnosis form on the BA Auto Care website it will give you an idea of what sort of questions need to be answered to get to the bottom of this. Hi Brian, I use a Toyota Corolla ie a model. Please can you advise me on what to do because I just changed my tyres four month ago.
Here are a few questions. Does the vibration start to go away when you go faster? Also use a shop that understands how to diagnose a vibration, independently owned full service and repair facilities have the highest customer ratings. Tell the service writer what the symptoms are and say if everything is ok that you are interested in new tires then asked for recommendations. Put all the responsibility on the shop to fix the problem.
I have a Toyota Highlander. All 4 brakes and rotors have been replaced in the last 3 months with the rear being done just last week.
It has a slight shake at mph, but when you hit the freeway it feels as though my poor car is going to fall apart, and is pretty scary The shop I generally use is a small rural facility and no where close for them to check it at these speeds.
Is there a way for them to diagnose it without driving it, or should I try to find a garage closer to a freeway so that they can experience what it is doing? Thanks in advance! A brake caliper not releasing can cause the symptoms your experiencing. Start by driving for 5 miles then check to see if one of the wheels is getting hotter then the rest. Also it could be related to the tires and wheels they could of been put back in different position. Tell the repair shop all the symptoms your experiencing they should be able to get to the bottom of this.
Hope this helps Brian. I have a Jeep Wrangler and when I brake around mph my steering wheel as well as my whole car shakes like crazy! Do you know what could be the cause of that? Ive a Toyota Corolla le. Its my vehicle begun shaking 60mph and itll stopped as it accelerates when i did my last tire rotation. I webt back and told them, and they redis the rotation and balance of my car, problem remains. I went to toyota to diagnose the problem and tol me its possible cv axle of either driver or passenger.
I replaced the driver side cv axle, my car still shaking. Im planning to replace the passenger side until i browse to your website. Hi James, Before replacing anymore parts double check all the basics…. If the problem started after the tires were rotated then one of the rims or tire would be the problem. Make sure the tires are balanced using a Road Force wheel balancer. Put the best to rear. Hey Brian I have Cadillac.
My tires run smooth up to 45 Then at 45 they bounce like a pogo stick then at 50 mph on the are smooth again. Any suggestions. If in doubt remove shaft and check that they are free. Hello I drive a Dodge Journey and it shaking when stepping on gas on highway I have new tires rotors breaks inner and outer tie rods sway bar links and also new stunts and ball joints and still shakes my mechanic is unable to diagnose.
Hi Meggan, It sounds more like an engine misfire than a tire issue. Are there any warning lights on? Is the Check Engine Light flashing when you put your foot on the gas?
More info please, check out the diagnostic forms on the BA Auto Care website to see the type of questions that need to be answered. I drive a Volkswagen Passat and today while accelerating on the interstate, it started violently shaking. The shaking starts when you start to accelerate close to 30mph, is the worst at 70mph and then can hardly be felt at faster speeds.
My truck shudders in the rear on my initial acceleration but only from mph, then the shuddering stops. I really appreciate your assistance. Hi John, It sounds like the brakes might be hanging on, e-brake? Perform a careful examination of all the brake components and make sure they are all working as they should. I have a pontaic aztek when I start brakeing at 60 to 70 miles the car shakes what could be the problem.
Hi Glenda, Shaking while braking is mostly caused by distorted brake rotors. To diagnose the Check Engine light the codes and data needs to be accessed this is best done by a skilled technician that knows how to interpret the information. My pontiac bonneville starts to shake at around 50 — 55 then will even out at about 80 also come down the mountain as soon as i step on the brake omg the whole front end feels likes its going to shake off. Any advice would be great. Hi Sharon, It sounds like a tire issue coupled with out of round brake rotors.
Start with check8ng the tires, all steering, suspension components and brakes. Seems like a combination of issues? Did the symptoms start at the same time.
Really need advice, ongoing issues since I purchased 2nd hand CLK 5 months ago. Tyre blow out on the motorway Rac did not show up until 3hrs later turned out both front tyres damaged and illegal! It was bold on the outside and almost new in the inner.
A bit better but still vibrates a bit at speed. Have the rear wheels checked for any buckles? That is as long as all the basics have been checked. The final thing is to go to the BA Auto Care website and print out the NVH dialogistic form, use this to document the issue and it will help the technician get to the bottom of this. Hi Jimmy, You might need someone to take it apart to confirm the issue.
Hi Brian. I am Chen. I live in Thiland and happen to buy a brand new Isuzu Pickup truck. The wheels and tires are brand new. The wheels and tires are well balanced. Is there anything I should look into in order to fix this problem. Thank you very much!
If not try that first and let me know how you get on. Brian, I have a Honda Odyssey. My wife said the car was rattling and took it for service. They sold her two new tires,front and rear brake pads and rotors and an alignment. She still has the issue. I drove the van and its fine up until about 60mph and then it feels it is going to fall apart. I took it back and they said a one ounce weight was wrong and it would be corrected but its the same issue. No issues on braking or lower speeds.
What is your thoughts? Hi Trevor, Yes start with checking for a caliper holding on then I think I need to pin you down on the symptoms. Were either of these symptoms made better by all the work?
I would give the shop one more chance to find the problem, they are responsible if they said the work performed was going to fix the problem. Let me know how it goes. I have a terrain. Just put on new brakes and rotors all around 2 weeks ago. We just got back from a mile trip and the vehicle while braking between mph vibrates the goes away at lower and higher speeds while braking.
What would cause this? Thanks Mike. Hi Michael, Sounds like the rotors are are distorted. This some times happens with new rotors especially cheap ones. Also make the rear brakes and working at full efficiency. Where are you feeling the vibration? Whole vehicle? I have a Toyota camry model the vibrates while accelerating high speed starting from km. Hi Garland, The speed range of the vibration points towards a worn drive shaft universal joint or a brake hanging on.
Check for a braking hanging on first because that a simple process of driving for 5 minutes and seeing if one wheel is hotter than the rest. Hello, I have a honda accord. When I hit around mph the steering wheel starts to shake but then stops when I go over 70 mph or so. The steering wheel then starts to shake again pretty bad whenever I hit the brakes and does so till I come to a complete stop but it gets better as I slow down. Can you help me with the problem?
When this happens, the substances can cause vibrations, particularly when you press the brake pads. Also, over time the rotors get thinner, making them susceptible to damage. During braking, excessive heat is generated and can cause the rotors to warp.
This can also lead to slipping brake pads. To prevent this issue, make sure you have your brake rotors replaced around the 70,mile mark.
You might also notice a sharp noise coming from the outside of your vehicle when you apply the brakes. This noise could signal that your brake pads are worn. If this occurs, replace your brake pads as soon as possible. Dry guide pins could be the issue if you notice your steering wheel shaking when you come to a complete stop. These guide pins are part of the brake calipers and are responsible for guiding the brake pad to the rotor.
In order to work properly, these pins must be clean and lubricated. When they become corroded or dry, they can cause the brake pads to push down on the rotor at the wrong angle or the caliper to stick. To determine if you have dry guide pins, visit a service center since the caliper must be removed, inspected, and lubricated.
