Problem overview

Some Honda Civic owners report experiencing shaking during sudden braking, which can be attributed to several potential issues. One common cause is a warped rotor surface, leading to vibrations that feel rough, similar to driving on an uneven road. Additionally, some owners have noted that stuck calipers can result in uneven braking force, contributing to the shaking. Furthermore, general brake system issues may indicate the need for rotor and brake replacements. To address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to inspect the brake system for signs of wear or damage and consider replacing the rotors and brakes if necessary to ensure smooth braking performance.
