Default Brake Pulsing

I have brake pulsing -- could this be that I need my rotors rotated/turned or would I need to have them resurfaced?

might be just uneven worn pads, check it out. if aint that, then you need to resurface rotors.

and sometimes, cold start leads to cold pads / brake system, which may result in pulsing. warm em' up and check it out.

If the steering wheel is vibrating then maybe you need rotors. i had the same problem you need to hurry and fix the problem if it is the rotors. because when it happend to me it ate the rotors down and the brake pad fell out and i had no brake and i almost died as a result of that . just something to think about.

I don't feel much vibration in the steering wheel -- but I will have to check that out as well. I think I will get a brake inspection to find out what is going on. I do hear a bit of a squeel when I don't allow my car to warm up :-( Once its warm I don't hear the squeel when I brake.

wow...thats metal to metal bro. if it squeel, then time to replace the pad. now if you hear grindin'....hell, time to replace pads and rotors ( possible re-grind the rotors, depends on how deep is the damage to your rotors)
