i have an 05 silver tc just about 7 days old today. i had an incident the other day when i was turning into a drive at the same time that someone was turning out. I braked pretty hard while my wheel was turning right, my car made this raddle type of vibration as i stepped on the brake. i thought something was definately wrong, possibly with the rooters or brakes or something. went to the dealer the next day to find a reason as to why my car is doing this. i spoke to richard at longo scion which is also a member of this forum and owns 2 scion xB's. he explained to me that it was the performance of the EBD (electronic break distribution) and ABS (anti-lock break system). My brakes were pulsating to prevent the brakes to lock up on you, this is suposed to be normal, in fact this is suposed to be a good thing. so those of you that have had this problem, everything is a-ok!

 

I knew your brakes and rotors were fine about halfway through your post. I'm glad you found out on your own that the rattling you felt was the ABS and EBD. You seem to be another satisfied tC customer!

 

Is there a spellcheck feature on here?
