Default Shaking While Braking.....

My 2010 V6 Mustang is shaking when pressing the brakes at speeds above about 55mph. Any pressure besides a light tap causes the steering wheel to shake pretty badly. The car also pulls to the left and shakes at speeds above 60 just driving it. What could be the problem?

Ok I was kind of thinking that after reading somethings. Would it be both? And is this covered under warranty?

Not sure if it would be covered under warranty... It could be both but seems like only one since it is pulling one way while braking.

Its not only pulling to the left while braking its all the time if that makes any difference. The car has 24k miles on it.

Hi Gan6660,

The best way to determine why your Mustang is shaking & pulling is to have your local dealer diagnose it. The repair may still be covered under warranty, so go ahead and take it in.
