Pedal pulsating when braking on the highway...... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Its not happening in the city, but on the highway a feel a fast pulsating.

Someone told me that maybe my rotor is warping, but that I can stil drive it for a long time until I feel pulsating when driving slow.

But wouldn't over time driving with warped rotors screw up my pads that are new? Or the calipers?

Thanks in advance

Warped rotors is probably right. It will damage the pads if not corrected asap.

It's warped ever so slightly, which is why you only notice it at high speeds. Can be fixed by machining them. Not sure about damage, but it will prematurely wear the pads.

Ditto.... swap the rotors out with new fresh ones before they destroy your new pads.
