    how old are your tires? if you have a friend with the same tire and rim size, swap out the fronts with him, tires dont last for ever, and sometimes suck.

    theres a guy here had similar problem, turned out to be a bad tire. found it on a high tech balancer of some sort.

    Dealer just called back. They said it's more than likely a bad tire or tires and the rotors are bad. The axles appeared to be fine. I just replaced the rotors three days ago for the second time. The first set warped after a week. The dealer says they're definitely warped rotors causing vibrations when braking. I guess that's what I get for buying rotors from AutoZone.
