Brakes
Hey guys just wanted to see if anyone is having this issue too. My 2016 2SS seems to have had issues with the brakes since owning. Whenever I'm on the freeway and hit the breaks I can feel shaking in the steering wheel and sometimes at lower speeds as well (like 30-40mph) The dealer machined the rotors twice and then just replaced them and now it seems to be doing the same thing again. I've never owned an SS or had Brembo brakes before but I feel like this isn't normal. The dealer kinda blamed me saying I was breaking too hard but I'm not. Even so I shouldn't have that many issues with them so far. I live in LA so i sit in the traffic a lot not sure if this is a factor or not. Thanks guys for any input

Mine has 11,600 miles and never shakes during braking.

Mine seems fine. There is a small break in for brakes as well. What I do when I put new brakes on is slowly warm them up kind of pump the brakes while on the highway. Then when they are good and warm I'll be going about 65 then press hard on the brakes to slow down to maybe 40. I'll do that twice then go about 5 miles so the brakes can cool down some and I'll do it once more. For me it beds in the brakes and heat treats the rotors. Also what I do is each time I get in any car I'll warm up the brakes slowly before needing them. I also probably go overboard but every time I stop I will pump the brakes a little to warm them up before each stop. That last part is probably going overboard but I never have warped rotors and my brakes work great. Thinking about it one of your calipers may be sticking or something. If it keeps up try a different dealer if you can. Hope you can find and fix your issue.

Have you had your tires checked to make sure they are balanced and aligned?

Could also be the pads. I put on PowerStop Z23 pads to cut down on the brake dust. No problems with the stops, even fairly hard ones. I didn't have a problem with the Brembo except for the dust.

I agree with the balance, alignment suggestion. Had a vehicle that did the same thing. Turns out one of the front tires was out of balance, had lost a weight. Funny deal; never felt the imbalance except when braking.

My car did this before I was in a accident and couldn't figure out what was going, all is well after they replaced alot of suspension parts while repairing car.

Check the wheel/tire assembly balance. Also have the front suspension checked for anything that may be loose (inner and outer tire rods, wheel bearings, strut to knuckle bolts and strut top mount), to be sure. If the rotors are warped, you'd have an issue at medium speed and possibly low speed as well.
I very much doubt you're causing an issue with the brakes... |

Try some two piece rotors built with feature allowing heat expansion/contraction which should alleviate this vibration issue during heat cycles.

i have the same issue as OP, I'm looking for better rotors... um I drive hard... really really hard.
Power stop looks good and reasonably priced: https://www.carid.com/2016-chevy-camaro-brakes/

If they've established that the rotors are not the problem, then they should move on to something else. It's nearly impossible to "brake too hard" and overheat these things in daily driving...they're big, and have coolers. You'd have to be at the track, regularly...
