My 2004 cadillac deville is shaking in a low idle why is that

Does it occur when you apply the brakes? A warped rotor will cause a shake or shutter (primarily felt in the steering wheel and brake pedal) when the brake are applied. Most shops no longer resurface brake rotors any longer because of the reduced prices for a new replacement rotor, but resurfacing a rotor will bring the rotor true (even no wobble) and take away any brake shimmy or shaking.

2001 Lexus LS430. when I start the car most times it's fine, but when I take off from Park to Drive the SKID CONTROL Light comes on and beeps and the vehicle starts to brake on it own (Quiet Freak

You must have the dealer scan the system with a special tool to see what is causing this unwanted activation of the vehicle stability control system.

My car camry 2003 runs well usually but sometimes the car trembles or gives trembling noise when the brake is applied.

will try to help.your front brakes and rotors may need replacement. when you apply brakes say,at 40 mph do you feel vibration on brake pedal or shaking in steering wheel? the vibration comes from worn or warped front brake rotors. while you have those rotors replaced,go ahead and have new front brakes applied also,or else you'll still have brake problems.always ask to see old parts when you have brakes and rotors unless you have a complety trustable mechanic! the rotors will be round and silver,a very bad brake rotor will have grooves cut in it.always shop for best price at different shops to get a picture of the price for replacement! do not be afraid to ask questions! front brake pads can cost anywhere fron $20.00 to $45.00 rotors can cost $40.00 to $50.00 each there will only be 2 rotors on the front and the brakes are complete for the front,both sides,on the front. as a general rule you'll replace your front brakes twice before you'll need to replace the back brakes because most of you stopping power comes from the front brakes. and as always,if you need further assistance please contact an expert!thank you for choosing fixya.com

Fornt end shakes when going down the road, gets worse whrn the brakes are applied

If the steering wheel shakes while applying the brakes, you have warped brake rotors, and they need to be replaced. A shake all of the time may also be another issue, as in tires out of round, out of balance, or bad tie rod ends.

Hii.. i have elantra 2001..when i run about 60 mph..and slow down by breaks..the steering start to shake strongly..when lift my leg..it goes so fine,,whats the problem..? thanks

Your brake rotors are warped. The warped rotors are transmitting their side to side movement, to your steering wheel, when you apply the brakes. Have the rotors checked to see which one(s) is/are warped and have them replaced.

My car shakes after applying brakes at high speeds of 60 to 70 MPH on my 2001 / IS300 lexus. I recently had the rotors turned and put on new break pads before this problem really became noticable. I...

Well even though you had the rotors turned, they still could be warped and causing the car to shake at a high rate of speed when the brakes are applied. My suggestion is to replace the rotors asap.
