vibrating when braking

does anyone else have this problem?

my cobalt i got 7/24/06, it currently has 3300 miles on it, before the initial 1000 mile mark i was entering the highway when some old lady had come to a complete stop on the onramp when i was looking at the highway to see where i could merge into, i almost slammed into her if i didnt lock up teh brakes..since them my cars been vibrating when i brake. the steering wheel goes left and right frantically if i brake at a certain speed area. i took it in for service and they said i warped the front rotors, they had to recut them and resurface them, got it back and it was riding good

havent braked hard at all..but the vibrating is back again, this time it feels like the entire car is vibrating not just the steering wheel throwing you around

anyone else have this problem? I tried to search the forum and came up empty handed. are the cobalts braking systems really this inferior?

my blazer doesnt have this much braking problems even after slamming on the brakes at 80mph when my wheel broke off the truck...im so lost right now

Your rotors are probably warped, not an uncommon thing in these cars

alot of us went through this, call your dealer tell him whats up, they will grind them for you, mine were ground and if it happens again they will replace them.
