Default Brakes vibrating

Every time I applied my brakes, I feel a vibration in the pedal. It feels almost like the rotors need to be turned. However, when I check the rotor by feel they feel smooth without grooves. I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same vibration in their brakes?

Check the back of the rotor. Had this happen to me with the front of the rotor feeling and looking fine but the back of the rotor was BAD.

No i tossed them and put brand new on. They were too far gone. Check the backs of you're rotors and make a decision.

Ok I'll definitely check the backs. How many miles did you have? I have 35K

...they sound like mine. They are warped. I doubt there is another answer.
Lots of alternatives at buybrakes.com. I'm ordering mine this weekend.

A 2010 with 35k most likely will be warped rotors. If you do a lot of stop and go driving or hard stops that will do it. It seems it doesn't take to much to over heat these things.

Normally you can turn the rotors and new pads to take care of it. Some prefer new rotors to turning but it is more expensive.
