Hey there fellow enthusiasts....

I've been driving my City i-DSi for more than 7 months now and I'm pretty damn satisfied with the car so far...!

But one thing's been bugging me for the past month or so.

Whenever I go through uneven roads, there are times when I need to apply my brakes. When I do that, on my driver's side, I can feel shuddering at my wheels. I'm not sure about the passenger side coz most of the time my gf is sitting there and knowing ladies, she's not as aware about this as guys would...

I've asked the Honda Service Centre guy during my previous service and according to him, it's normal that ABS would kick in when you apply your brakes at uneven roads.

My case, it even happens when I apply my brakes after I've gone over a road hump.

Anyone experienced this same thing before?

Ah....someone who has the same problem... hmm.gif

I wonder is this a common thing for all Citys?
Please can anyone explain why is this happening and is it normal...?

Warp disc or uneven brake pads?

Will it happen so soon on a 7 month old car? Anyways, it's something for me to look into.

Thanks mate.

Anymore possibilities anyone?

warped discs would usually causes your steering to vibrate left and right when braking.

when ABS kicks in, you can feel a shuddering sensation on the brake pedal. it is normal if the road is uneven and you apply sufficient pressure for it to kick in. i got a lot of that when the car was new, but as i drove it long enough.. i knew how to control the abs from kicking in unnecessarily smile.gif

So I guess I could rule warped disc out...coz I don't experience vibration on my steering wheel. Only on my brake pedals.

Like jeisern is asking, will this happen only on hard-braking situations? Coz I don't do hard braking. For example you're in a jam, and the road has a hump. So as you are moving slowly in the jam you come up to the hump and you just go over it. As your front wheels went over the hump you apply the brakes gently. The shuddering happens then...

Speed estimation would be somewhere between 20-30 km/h, which is not too fast to require hard braking.

I would say, to spray paint whole front bumper will cost between RM100 to RM200 depending on shop and quality of workmanship.

Hmm....then I'll have to start planning my budget.

Do you by any chance have any shops to recommend? tongue.gif

I've seen shops selling these type of remote controller. It's not exactly exclusive for Honda cars. Probably you can scout around....

The shop that I saw is in Tesco Puchong beside McD
