Default Rumbling/Vibration sounds during braking...please help

My father has a 2003 Accord LX v6 sedan with 6600 miles.

He said there is a rumbling/vibration sound during braking at above 40 mph, but claims he feels no pedal vibration.

Does anyone know if this is normal or what it is? I haven't driven the car and dont know much about the newer accords...

Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't be normal, but I can't hear it from here. I don't know how loud it it.

Maybe the pads & rotors got glazed unevenly from stopping too hard before they were broken in.

It's under warranty, right?

The warranty should cover this, bring it to the dealer ASAP. It could be something as simple as the lug nuts not torqued correctly.

This isn't normal -at least on my accord (2003 EX V6 sedan). It's probably something loose. I remember my mom's van used to brake EXACTLY as you described. I believe it was a simple repair.
