Default Brake Pulsing

2013 Accord Coupe, 24,000 miles. Yeah, I know, very low mileage. Wife's car, used only for summer trips. Anyway, recent trip, Interstate, 75-80 MPH, light braking, pulsing, very similar to braking on ice, but much less pulse frequency. Any ideas? Dealer says maybe rotors need work. Anyone have such problems?

Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Regards, Jim

My experience is that pulsating brakes means rotor resurfacing work like the dealer said.. Your mileage is early for that, imho.



Also, I've driven cars with pulsating brakes for huge number of miles, so no rush to address it. Will slowly get worse; but, even then
I never felt I couldn't stop adequately by just pressing down hard on the pedal even when the brakes were pulsating a lot.

Thanks for your reply. Yeah, braking hard, no pulsating and normal slowing.
