This is a bit scary. the service records show a 'brake job' less than two years ago. I have filled each GoodYear with 36psi.

A friend suggested warped rotors as a most likely cause. It does not seem to do this without brakes being used.

Also, does this damned car have a glove-box?! Where they usually go is the airbag and all I can find for storage (with a key) is the center console. Is that the only glove box in the car?
Your friend is right. Yes you have wraped rotors. 2 years is a long time.

IMHO i would rather have the airbag than the glove box. It's so tiny anyway.
