Default Shake when i press brake.

I satarted noticing it for past few days... when ever i press my brakes in the lights.. while reaching the 0-mile.. i feel a shake.... it was like a sudden brake...
please advise...

I am alomost nearer for my oil change... does it have any impact on it..??? or anything to do with my brake fluids ???

did you check your tires? they might be loose. that happened to me once. i didnt tighten them enough and they came loose and almost off.

no it was the entire car that shakes.. as if i have put a sudden brake.. also i have been noticing when i accelerate (between 24-40 m/h) i could feel the gear change (mine is authomatic)... like a small shake in the car...

yes i will check the tires today.. i am planning to do a oil change today.. i will have my tires rotated with that..

Definitely check the lug nuts on all your tires.

Next step would be to inspet the rotors and pads. Rotors could definitely be warped.

yea i would definitely say check the brakes and rotors. make sure the rotors aren't warped. and of course check the lugnuts. make them nice and tight.

This is true. A while back my steering wheel was shaking during acceleration, braking, and highway cruising. Changed the pads turned the rotors... all gone.
