I posted my problem in April and some said go back to OEM pads, and some said it might be the ABS, even though it occurs without hard braking and doesn't feel like typical ABS, whatever that is. So I put new pads and rotors on front and the brakes still freakout when hot. The car still stops but the car vibrates intensely and the noise threatens your fillings.

I take it to the dealer Monday 'cause my wife is freaked out about it (imagine that: worried about a minor thing like brakes when there are the NBA playoffs to worry about). I'm afraid I won't be able to recreate it for the technican and they will try to tell me it is a warped rotor. Any thoughts on the potential fix? Is it really the ABS system kicking in when the brakes are hot?
