Car Shudders Under Braking – Roadside Assistance for Singapore Cars in Malaysia MyMechanic

Why Your Car Shudders When You Hit the Brakes

• Warped or uneven brake rotors cause the pads to grab inconsistently, transmitting vibration through the car.
• Heat from braking and uneven wear change rotor thickness and flatness over time.
• On high‑speed highways, shudder can reduce control during sudden stops—address promptly.

Warning Signs of a Warped Rotor

• Steering‑wheel vibration when slowing down.
• Brake pedal pulsing or uneven feel underfoot.
• Longer stopping distances than usual.
• A burning smell after heavy braking.
