Shaky from 60mph up and brake

I just got my Max like a month or so. been 1500miles already. my understanding about the Max is nothing. I've been noticed that when i speed from 60 up the steering wheel is shaky a lil and the same when i break. Is this common symptom for every new car. anyone knows anything about this would be great!!! thanx guys...

Sorry man, I cannot help laughing. You are one more to the list.

There are so many threads about it. Just search for Shimmy, Wheel shimmy.

I just got my shimmy fixed...it turned out to be that the wheels were not balanced correctly. Also they resurfaced my front rotors to elminate the shimmy while braking.

It seemed to do the trick but, we'll see.

LOL why do you have to cut the rotors if the car is new? Why do you have to balance the tires if the car is new? COMON NISSAN WAKE UP and do the recall!!! FYI you should have the steering rack adjusted.
