    No clue what the issue is so I have this vibration when I go to brake . Can feel it in the steering wheel brake pedal and threw the truck it’s not violent . Seems to be worse when braking on bumpy roads and not as noticeable on even roads .truck has 8k miles serviced recently including tire rotation stated everything looked good . Tires at 33 psi . Should I be concerned? Or normal ... ?

    I suggest considering the idea of trading it in. If you have reservations like you did last week, it's time to move on while the getting is good.

    That's funny, that would be like jumping from the broiler to right into the fryer. At least consider a Camaro.

    I think the only issue he’s experienced here is buyer’s remorse because he didn’t really want a truck in the first place... :rolleyes::bored:

    It could be, I don't need a truck, but the MINI dealer is too far away

    No buyers remorse I shouldn’t have this many issues with only 8k miles . I have owned a 15 challenger for 4 years 85k miles when I traded her and had zero issues the whole time I owned the car.

    Unless you're going wide body, the Challenger is a car that get's lost in a Bed Bath and Beyond parking lot these days. There's nothing but ole Karens and Carols driving narrow bodies around here.

    From experience vibrations rarely get better. If this is something new, just started i'd be concerned keeping an eye on it. When my taco was under 500 miles i noticed what i suspect some minor vibration the torque converter was causing as i was braking/coming to a stop down a hill. Putting the shifter in neutral then braking to a stop it was no longer there. A few hundred miles later it all disappeared, and hasn't come back to this date.

    I would buy into what people are saying about trying to have the dealer work thru these problems. The lemon clock is ticking and depending on when you bought it time is not on your side. In some states the time is short.

    A lemon might get you the most money back, if you already have a history of documented issues.

    If my 2018 wasn't so old I would have just had the truck lemoned vs. trading it in

    Something to consider, just trade your rig in on a 2021 Taco and I am sure if you negotiate they still get top dollar. Just my two cents.

    Have the dealer throw on new rotors and call it a day.

    This is a simple issue, not a world class problem. Either someone over-tightened the wheel lugs, or the tire(s) are defective/out of balance.
    Wish all problems were that simple geezzz!

    Sounds like warped rotors/front brake pad issue.

    Should be easy for the dealer to check. If you get the "It's normal", spend the $200 and throw on new rotors and pads and see what happens.
