Brake Vibration?!?

Hey, I've owned my 2002 maxima for about 6 months now, and I just put on about 3500 miles, and I'm going to go in for an oil change, but I was wondering if anyone else was feeling the same vibration when braking while driving at high speeds????

Thankz in advance...

Later..

yup....the rotors may be warped. and I think it is the steering wheels that vibrates, or the body. I had my rotors warped at 23k.

in case you would like to know....the cause is uneven wear of rotors and variation of thickness. but u have a really low milage on ur car. do you brake a lot and hard? esp high speed brake..
