My 98 car with 70,000 miles has a strange problem. When slowing to a normal stop the brakes will throb "similar" to the ABS activation and I fear the car will not stop. The ABS light does not turn on. This occurs intermittently on both dry and wet pavement. With hard braking this does not happen and the stop is normal. I took the car to my regular service mechanic and he said there were no error codes and he found no electronic or mechanical problems. New front rotors were installed and the rear drums cut along with new pads and shoes, which now have about 10,000 miles on them. My brother said that a rotor is "probably" warped. Is he correct or has anyone experienced this problem and know what is wrong? Thank you.
