Braking issue
 

I have a 04 auto transfactory brakesthat when you apply the brakes sometimes the car car seems to brake jerky or unevenly. Its not a smooth stop but the car does not pull to one side of the other.

Someone told me that this is normal with automatics due to the overdrive is this true

RE: Braking issue
 

I'm fairly certain that your problem is uneven brake pad deposits on the rotors. I had this issue at 6000 miles and the dealership machined the rotors under warranty. The next time it happened (after another 6000 miles), I decided to buy PowerSlot rotors from the Tirerack. I now have over 35,000 miles on my car and have never had brake pulsations again. Stay away from cross-drilled rotors, as they have a nasty habit of cracking. The crackes propogate from the drilled holes. Slotted rotors keep the pads "fresh" and eliminate hot spots which result in the uneven pad deposits.

Very good advice. You'd do well to geta set of those rotors for the front. Change the pads at the same time, of course.

I forgot to mention that both the new Cadillac CTS-V and the Viper ACR come from the factory with slotted-only rotors.

So we are saying stay away from drilled & slotted or just drilled.

I'd stay away from either drilled/slotted or drilled. The only disadvantage that comes with slotted-only rotors is pad life. However, if you don't drive more than 8-10,000 miles per year, slotted (especially cadmium-plated) is the way to go, IMO.
