Default steering wheel shakes

My steering wheel shakes while braking, stoping from low speeds not so bad, but im no braking hard of course. My question is is this all 99 ex accord's or just mine? What could it be, my car's still under warranty & its getting worse and worse.

its seems that you have worped rotors but ist to bad that the warranty only covers brake pads and rotors till 1year or 12,000 miles after bought ...new.. exteded warranties dont cover this kiind of repairs ..such as wear items... but you can check ... i can assure is the rotors being worped you can probably get them resurfaced and a new set of pads put on and dont put aftermarket only original honda ....if you dont want to replace them in like 3months from now...cool good luck

your rotors are warped have them resurfaced and replace the frt pads with genuine honda brake pads. after market pads are harder and cause more noise and cause more heat to the rotors.

OEM doesn't squeal and has the least amount of dust in my experiences

you'll probably be ok... but most people would recommend changing the pads out as well.

Yea they might have uneven wear due to your warped rotors, so it would probably be better for it...
