'08 Matrix-vibration when braking - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

I have a 2008 Matrix XR with around 19k miles and recently when I apply the brakes I get a vibration in the steering wheel. Has anyone else run into this? With the low mileage, this seems pretty early to develop a problem with the disks, etc. What do ya think?

Vibration when braking is usually an indication that the rotors are warped, but like you say, that seems odd for such a new vehicle. I'd take it in to the dealer.
