Default 2008 EX i4 steering wheel shaking when step brake

I had a brand new 2008 EX i4, I felt steering wheel shaking when i step brake with D gear.

any suggestion for this, I have seen a lot about this complain before, my friend told me that his 2006 EX had the same problem.

I just hope Honda can explain this.

Have you been jumping on it? Usually a shaking steering wheel when braking is evidence of warped rotors.

I'd take it in to a dealer, since the car is so new.

I feel the steering wheel shakes while I slightly step on the gas.

I have a feeling you're experiencing torque steer. The Accord is front wheel drive, so the drive wheels are also the steering wheels, so if it's not perfectly straight, you will feel the car kick a bit because it's putting its power through the drive wheels which aren't aligned iwth the rear wheels.
