My 2007 dodge caliber break pedal begins to pulsate when hitting the break pedal. In addition, the steering wheel shakes.
Check for loose wheel bearing , worn tie rod ends, buckled disc rotors, if front wheel drive check drive shaft joints, check ball joints on front suspension. check wheel balance.
Usually a sign one of the front brake rotors is out of round. It could also be something wrong with the abs but I doubt it.

They're telling you the truth, if they inspected your brakes and didn't find anything wrong, it is normal. I've seen this before...it's annoying, but normal--nature of the beast, brakes=friction=noise. Make sure you get a copy of the service invoice from your dealership that denotes that you brought it in and they inspected the brakes and didn't find anything wrong...it may be beneficial for you to keep these records. The warranty on your brakes is 12 months/12,000 miles -- NOT 36/36 like the rest of your factory warranty.

hi from uk from your symptoms you describe may i suggest that as you say this occures only after repeatbraking /when brakes and tyres are heated? this may be a tyre fault? or you may have a a fault with a steering joint? suggest you check tyres for defects on front when you have run/braked and fault occures? look for buge on tyre?inner or outer? also raise each wheel and rotate whilst check for ovality on circumfrence? please come back with your findings or if you req more advice?

I believe you need your disk brake rotors turned to be true again or have them replaced. Whe you use your brakes a lot and kit puddles of cold water then it will warp the rotors which will cause the violent shaking. You may not feel it in the brake pedal even if it is warped rotors. If you don't think you have warped rotors then you should be very careful driving it because it will probably be in the steering sector arm or the idler arm on the steering shaft.

This usually indicates a problem with the suspension components. Check for play in front end suspension, 1st thing I would check would be the steering damper, it's often overlooked, and could be the cause. If that checks out ok, jack up and check for play in wheels, which could be caused by worn ball joints, tie rod ends, wheel bearings. A lot of possibilities, generally play in any components can trigger the shaking you're experiencing when hitting a pot hole or bump. Good luck!

I had the same problem and it was a small shock sitting horizontally called the steering stabalizer your something close to that. Eazy fix.
