I just bought a sc400 I am new to this forum. I'm not a mechanic but I have a very good general knowledge in cars. Today I had to slammed on my brakes because someone pulled right out in front of me.. The ABS came on etc. my problem now is that when I take my foot off the brake pedal it will shudder, it sort of feels like the brakes are still half clamped on. Does anyone have any suggestion that I can check myself or any advice would be helpful thankyou.

 

I'm no mechanic but if not a deeper ABS issue, I'd check for sticking calipers.
Good luck!

 

Sounds like it could even be a severely warped rotor?

 

any fix to this yet? my car feels like it shudders when im on the brakes, i can feel it in the pedal, it sounds like the front passenger caliper is losing pressure and then grabbing again

 

Your rotors are warped...

 

Yeah, very likely warped rotors. Take them off and see if Autozone/Oriellys will surface them, if not get a new set.

 

I've felt warped rotors before, this doesn't feel like that, and the rotors are fairly recent. About 4k miles, and if I remember correctly you can't surface drilled/slotted rotors right? And my tire ate through my abs sensor wire on that same side and my problem dissapeared. When I resoldered the wires back together the problem came back. Could there be a fault in the abs somewhere?
