Occasional brake shudder.
My brakes will occasionally shudder, like warped rotors feel, when stopping. It happens maybe 25% of the time. Why?

Mine do the same thing. They are less than a year old, and were broken in properly. Maybe they aren't made as good as they should be and are actually beginning to warp.

I had pretty much the same thing on my 300D. What it turned out to be was a sticky front caliper. Apparently after a long run on the HWY the rotor would indeed get a bit hot and bendy then shudder the car when braking. Mornings or short trips there would be no shudder. Of course I did not track it down until the pad had worn down enough for the brake sensor to kick in...

Interesting... makes sence and I do usually have 30 mile highway runs followed by a several hour cool off.... I'll have to pay attention to just when it shudders.

My guide rod mounts are shot and I feel them when I drive over a dip. They send vibrations to the dead pedal/footrest which is right where the mount is. I think that's why my brake feels like they shudder. When I have the mount replaced and it still shudders I'll have the rotors replaced.

I'm quite the opposite. I used to have to deglaze the drums on my Mustang regularly because I stopped gently... though drums hold more heat and so glaze easier than discs.
