The front brakes on the 2012 Honda Pilot have to be undersized. This is the second set, beyond factory set, of rotors I've installed and they all warped. This warp creates a considerable shudder in the steering wheel when braking at certain speeds. I've thought about trying cryo-frozen rotors next.

With a Honda 2009 Odyssey, 2006 Odyssey, and 2012 Pilot, we are fairly sure that brake problems are now universal with Honda products: after less than 20,000 miles on our Pilot, we had a bad shutter and had to replace the rotors. Same on the 2009 Odyseey. Every 20-30k miles, we have the same issue. It seems these brakes are undersized for the vehicles.

Switching brands and giving up.

This is my 2nd new Honda purchase that has had shuddering brakes problem. None of my other cars have ever exhibited this problem. Our first Honda was an Odyssey and it showed up early in the life of the car and had to be fixed repeatedly. Now we are having the problem with a 2012 Honda Pilot. The problem started showing around 24000 miles and got so bad that we had to get it fixed.

Car shudders, and steering wheel shakes/locks, when applying brakes, when car travels around 40-50mph. This has happened to me over 5 times, and the last time it happened was a month back. I had my baby in the car, and it freaked me out. I recently had my car serviced at 5000 miles, and they told me that everything is working fine. I believe other users, are having this problem as well, and hence decided to report it. My car, has too little miles on it, to be facing any problems at all
