warranty that shiz. Make sure you can recreate the problem.

It's probably tramlining. My car does it as well under braking on a grooved road. It's an added benefit of our wide, low profile tires... Tramlining

Didja ever get that fixed? Mine does it when I am slowly approaching a stop light or sign. It pulls aggresivly and since it is not a grooved road, is not tramling.

I feel the same thing when braking but it isn't that bad. It seems like tramlining from what ive read on the forum.

Sounds like a front brake problem but could be a lot of other things. I'd take it to a good alignment shop and see what they say.

Guys, this could be a master cylinder fail. BTW this could pull right of left depending on which circuit is failing.

My guess is the front toe is off. Mine was all kinds of squirrelly under braking until I got an alignment.

BTW a klick is 1000 meters (.62 mile).

Mine does the same thing. Sometimes it pulls to the sides when braking. Took it to the dealership and a mechanic got in the car with me and I braked and it never did it. Then the mechanic took it for a spin and he said it did not do it to him. So I don't know what to do, since they said the car was fine. It only has 2k miles.
