Best Answer

Warped brake rotors.

Either machine them (if they have enough material left) or replace them.

Don't ride the brakes so much and the new ones will stay true.

If it just happens while braking then yes the rotors are warped. However the real issue is that the Nissan Quest has a basic design flaw. The brakes do not cool properly, so if you do a lot of city or stop-and-go driving then the rotors will soon warp again anyway.

If it happens at speeds above 20mph then you probably have a tire(s) out of balance. Nissans tend to throw wheel weights with regualr frequency. We generally have the tires balanced everytime we have them rotated.

2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD and the power steering pump is vibrating really bad when you press the brake pedal and when you turn the steering wheel what could cause this?

The front brake rotors are warped. It's not the power steering pump if it only happens when braking. One or both of the rotors need to be replaced. Overheating causes this, especially if the rotors are old or have been turned as part of a previous brake job on the truck.

How do I reset the brake light on a Nissan altima after brakes have been replaced and brake fluid filled and the emergency brake is off but light still stays on?

I had the same problem in my 1992 Nissan 240sx.your brake pedal, when at rest is pressing in a switch.when you press down on your brake pedal, the switch is released and your brake lights stay on. most of the time (on nissans) there is a hole in the pedal,and a little rubber bushing fits into it, and the rubber makes contact with the switch when this rubber gets old and/or falls off, the switch just pokes through the pedal and your taillights stay on. go to a Nissan dealership (they will usually have this item in stock)it is a very small rubber/plastic button that pops into your pedali just picked mine up for $1.75 it can be very difficult to pop into place
