parang tinulak nalang kagad ung kambyo pa neutral e, driver error yan.. para lumabas na walang kasalanan ung driver..

Sir maraming factor to check that problem.. pa check mo muna wheel balance mo, check rotor disc, brake pad and under chassis tie rod end and rock end...

sir pag nagpepreno lang naman kaya malamang hindi sa wheel balance. huwag naman sana malaki ang problema

badtrip aakyat pa naman ako ng baguio nextweek

i think its your rotor disc, if it is, need na ipa re-face.

Better have it checked up sir! buti na ung sure ka what the problem is, it might be serious or just a small adjustments to make.

Better have your unit checked straight away, it might be serious or just a minor adjustment will do.

Malamang sir both ang may tama nyan. high spot sa brake disc with uneven wear sa brake pad.

Madalas po ba kayo mag-apply ng brake na nasa 90-130kph pa? or madalas ba kayo gumamit ng brake downhill? Kung di naman emergency, use engine braking at first before applying the brakes. Remember your car is almost 3 metric tons and the vehicle is designed pa for mixed use (city and offroad) so it is expected that the car is fitted with street car pads not a racing pad with ultra-high temperature tolerance.

Most likely ang vibration ay dahil sa uneven surface ng brake disc na dahil naman sa mga dumikit na mga brake pad materials.

Kapag nagsingle long stop from a high speed or kagagaling lang sa downhill with heavy braking, wag po ibabad ang paa sa brake pedal kapag naka full-stop na. Dyan po kasi nagsisimula ang initial deposit (kapag matagal nakadikit ang brake pad sa nagbabagang brake disc).

Tutal magpapaservice naman kayo, at most likely papalitan naman yan (if you insist), try nyo po mag experiment habang pababa ng Baguio. After long downhill with heavy braking yun pong nangangamoy na ng pupo ng manok ang brakes nyo, bring your car to full-stop and keep applying brake for a while. Abante nyo ng konti at silipin nyo ang brake disc. Kung may makikita kayo na nakastamp or nakaimprint na hugis brake pad sa face ng brake disc, yan po ang initial deposit na kapag di kaagad napudpod sa normal operation ng brake, ay kakapal ng kakapal hanggang sa mararamdaman na ng driver kapag nag-aaplay ng brake.

Wish nyo lang po na mali ang pagkakadiagnose ng casa na they will judge it as “warped".

Wag nyo lang ipaalam na nag-aaplay (lalo na kung madalas) kayo ng brake at high speed sabihin nyo lang na “one-time” napabrake kayo bigla around 100kph nanginig ang sasakyan kakatakot kaya papacheck nyo ang brake at nirerequest na palitan ang dapat palitan.
