Greetings:
I am having problem with the brake and Toyota tech doesn't find any anomalies. Effectively, time to times when I brake hard (apply a lot of pressure on the pedal to slow down the car on a descent hill for instance) I feel my steering wheel is shaking like I am riding on a tiny speed-bump / ridges road (usually find at an highway exit). I have been told that the Disc need to be grinding and the problem will be gone. However, I have been driving a car through the rain yesterday and notice
- When braking to proceed to toll booth (30~40mph) the front end of the car shook violently.
- After braking, sometime I feel the steering wheel shook at speed between 70 ~ 80mph (note this speed was driven on a non-rainy section).
- After braking, some grinding noise could be heard. It sounds like the brake pad doesn't release properly and still stick to the brake disk.
- I never notice this problem (it was slightly shaken but not like this) before a recent visit to the dealer for a 60000 miles service. The brake are supposed to be inspected, since I report the problem to the Service Rep.
- The road surface seem to be normal without ridges. Otherwise I would feel them differently.
Does anyone encounter this problem? If so, what do you do to fix it?
Any kind of feedback is greatly appreciated.
