I wonder if that vibration you're feeling is the anti-lock brakes.

cbreit...the e-brake sticking was noted as the cause of SOME vibes a few months back. It was found that the e-brake hole thru the drum was not large enough to allow full release. I think it was a legit find as the cause of vibes in some instances, but probably not all.

Parking Brake and Shake

I never used the parking brake much if ever. But after 12000 miles and no shake it started after my wife used the brake the other day. She pulled over thinking that it was a flat tire. It stopped after she pulled back on the road. I tested it three days in a row and sure enough it would start shaking after I had used the parking brake but stop if you pulled over and restarted. It started shaking around 45 MPH. The last week no shake. Strangest thing!

cbreit, I set my parking brake yesterday when I parked on a small hill. Got back in and released it, started driving and had a bad vibe starting at 35-40. I rememberd seeing your post so I set the brake as I was slowing down, released it and the vibe was gone. Thought it was worth mentioning. Thanks for the post, I was pretty worried.

That's odd that the vibe would go away with new roters and then come back so quickly. I hope your dealer resolves it for you.

I appologize if my previous post was unkind. I was pointing out that your post was very hard to follow. It seems you wanted to get all your thoughts out at once. In doing so your point was lost. Just take it slow and write one thought at a time down, so we can understand your point.
