you,my friend,have a bad rotor right out of the box. don't worry it happens all the time. all parts have a one year implied warranty against defects.its the law,so have it changed.
Normally a "pulsing" brake pedal means that that you have a warped brake rotor or the brake caliper is lose. I would start by taking the front wheel off and inspecting the brake pads and the rotor. If the brake pads are worn down bad replace them. Pay special attention to the brake rotors also as if the are grooved very bad, they should also be replaced.
Installing new brake pads on toyota camry solara 2006 front rotors and pads and rear pads. Steering wheel would shake while breaking on 50+ miles per hour speeds. All fixed now.
new rotors, machine rotors or just a pad slap?
pulsing indicates warpage, is if felt in the steering wheel or the brake pedal? did you do front and rears?
is it drum or all wheel disc brakes?
I have a similar problem with my kia sedona 2003. The kia dealer told me to have the disc pads replaced. I brought it to a brake pads bonding shop cause its cheaper to replace there. But the thinnest pad are still half thick. The real problem was on the back plate, it's touching on the brake disc making the sound and scratching it. Just push the back plate away from the disc to solve the problem. If I have known this I could have used those disc pads for a few more months.
you have to get the rotors machined, they are warped, nothing else causes brake pulse, why do they only do it sometimes? the reason is simple when they get hot the warped area will straighten out, it all depends on the temp of the rotors, you need not use factory parts, but always use name brand like Wagner and Raybestos, they invented modern brakes, they are the best, don't use Durastop or other off brands, they can cuase issues of warping the rotor's.
this could be a warped brake disc.. when you brake do you feel the brake peddle go up and down under your foot??? if you do then this is the problem..Hope this helps
