troubles with the Z... what do you guys think
 

2014 7AT SP 14K Miles
Gen 3
berk res tp

Muffler Delete


1. when accelerating kind of hard to 4k rpm my "BREAK" light comes on and goes off. ( i read to top off my break fluid and when i checked its on max)

2. when breaking at high or low speeds my steering wheel vibrates very hard

3. when i accelerate semi hard ( not to bad) my 2nd traction light comes on an stays on until i turn the car off every time.

For Item 2 you might have a bad alignment and/or warped rotors.

I'm hoping it's the alignment I have never breakers hard in this car so I'm confused to why this is happening . Started at around 7k miles

don't know about lights, shuddering is warped rotors..

:happydance:Break light.?Should be Brake light....Spelling fail.:happydance:

LOOOL trying to be low key at the office

Don't know about 1 & 3 but I resurfaced my rotors at 13k miles, so I don't think #2 is strange. By the way, it only shook a little when braking at highway speeds but I wasn't going to let it get any worse and my pads were fine.

What are your tire sizes on front,compared to the rear's?

Are you taking it into the dealer as it's only got 7K on it?

Do brake rotors actually warp?

if you got your rotors good and hot and then hit a puddle of water it could warp the rotors.

^^yup.

haven't had the problem on my Z but have had it on other cars. Had an old K car way back when that would warp the rotors every 10k....was annoying

I have 245 in the front and 285 in the rear re-11s but the problem was occurring when I still had my stock tires on.

Ahh I was going to ask that next , with my list of mods will it be ok going into the dealership ? I would just have to use my obd2 and clear my ses from my test pipes

You don't have many mods...


1 and 3 are low brake fluid, make sure it's at the top line.

2, you need new rotors most likely, could be a glazed rotor, but let the dealer figure it out, although they'll 100% say you need to resurface your rotors, or need new ones.




How this thread went this long, I have no idea
