vibration under brake pedal

[Hondawise]

I have a 1998 Civic LX. Recently I noticed that everytime when I applied the brakes (when the speedometer is at 60 km/h or more), I can feel some vibration under the brake pedal. What is causing it and how to fix the problem? Is it a safety issue? Thanks for all your help.

the vibration under braking conditions is going to be warped rotors/drums. 90% of the time its the front rotors. it CAN become a saftey issue if left unrepaired or gets worse. new rotors should fix the problem for ya!!!

Omg yes this is tru I just change my rotors two day ago due to this same problem..CHANGE THEM NOW...its like cancer...before you have to replace your whole brake system..

Yep, some people just change one or the other which doesn't solve the problem lol so replace both!

I you need new rotors don't think that lathing them down will help because auto zone workers do not machine for a living. They sell parts, go spend the money for a good product that you trust. Not the crappy in house brand that heat up fast if you drive heavy on the brakes.

Had the same problem. Installed new rotors and all better now. Doesn't take long.

I think people need to start paying attention to thread dates.... The OP hasn't logged on since 12/18.
