My GUESS is that the brakes need to be checked. Premium gas is best. Congrats on the new Infinifi and hope you love it.

Welcome to NICO....

Most likely your rotors may need to be turned or replaced. A pulsating/vibrating feeling on the brake pedal or a pulsating stop generally indicate a warped or un-even rotor.

Any pictures?



Welcome to nico

Yes the premium would be the best for your car. However some people put regular in. If you plan tokeep your car longer perhaps you should use premium. I use premium.

That vibrating you talking about is pulse or shake?

Have you inspected your brake? Seen the rotor would tell you a lot about the condition of the brake.

One more thing...In CA, where you appear to be from, it is illegal for a dealer to sell a car with bad brakes. Nicely ask them to check the brakes, and if there is a problem, and if they won't fix it, call the BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) and complain. I doubt you'll have to make much of a problem as they will probably be more than willing to make it right and keep you safe.

Nope. Doubt the tires are at fault. Take it back to the tire store and see what they say. Still betting on brakes.

Can you describe in more detail the symptoms and under which conditions this happens? A lot of things can cause noise or vibration.

Also, did you buy a set of 4 new tires, or just one? You said you put "new tire"

Welcome to Nico!!!

You need to take it back to the dealer. Most dealer's have a small warranty period. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. So, be professional, but be persistant.

Also, rn79870 above has a good point!! Google to see if you can find some CA specific info about used car dealers.

Did you only replace one tire? Could be a possible balancing problem. Rare, but it happens.
