First check your brake fluid level if its low add fluid. If this is OK have your front rotors check they may need turned have the pads checked at the same time. If your brake fluid was low you may have air in the brake line and they will need the air bled out.

One more problem. My Nissan Fuga vibrates when I step on the brake pedal at high speed. Does this mean I have worn out brake pads/disks?

not necessarily
if you have abs brakes it is the pulsations as the wheels lock and unlock from the abs activity
this transmits as a pulsation under your foot
it may also mean that the discs have warped and the warp is pushing the piston back in then letting the piston out
it is more noticeable at low speed light pressure stops but it depends on the speed
Take the vehicle to an accredited brake shop specialist and get a proper diagnosis done

My Mitsubishi lancer ex is vibrating during 12okmph. I already did wheel alignment, wheel balancing but still giving me same problem. Please advise what is the solution it is 2011 model with 15,000klm...

I have a Mitsubishi lancer also and I found out after a discussion with the dealer service manager that a similar problem comes from warped front disc rotors. I noticed that there was a slight pulsing of the brake pedal at low speeds but the brakes worked as they should. I went to a brake specialist where I get all my clutch and brake parts and he informed that the genuine rotors are made of inferior metal and warp early in the service life. As they are not covered by warranty I bought after market discs of good quality and the problem went. What I am trying to say is that your low mileage problem is about the same as when mine started. If the disc rotors are warped then at speed the continuous touching of the pads will produce a vibration affect at high speed as at lower speed the vibration will be barely noticeable. Take the car to a reputable brake specialist and have him test the discs as to running true and are not warped.

What could cause vibration in the right front end of car?

it all depends on the speed and what u are doing at the time the vibration occurrs, if during braking you have warped brake rotors, if at higher speeds tire balance, at low speeds front end wear. Any tire shop will road test and give u an idea of the cost to repair in most cases free of charge.

Front wheels and steering wheel shake while driving

If you get a bad vibration in your steering wheel at low speeds without braking it is either a bad tire or a bad rim. If you get a vibration at speeds around 45-50+ and goes away you probably have a balance issue. If the vibration only occurs while braking then your rotors are warped. If low speeds it shakes i'd take it to a shop to check your tires.

Maxima - terrible vibrations in low speed

A bad tire, a loose wheel, a loose tie rod end, a bent rim, (tire balance at higher speeds), a piece of rust or whatever caught between the rim and brake rotor, or between the brake rotor and hub. Have you done anything to it prior to this starting?

I had this issue and it was one of my winter tires about to blow out, showing signs of weakness.. hopefully this helps!

S2000 vibration when decelerating

Clutch would show different ugly symptoms - it is definately a warped/warn rotor and/or brake pads from high speed deceleration or "riding the brakes".

Fairly easy to fix, probably 2-3 hours of work for each corner
