Nissan Maxima trouble again....?

Q: Ok its a 04 Nissan Maxima I brought it new and it has 64000 miles on it now. I do drive hard,break hard gas hard. Now when I'm driving on the parkway going about 70ish and I have to break the car shakes. it's like the stearing wheel shutters or vibrates violently.It doesnt have that pulling to one side thing going on I know that means alignment . Right? Its no longer covered under the warrenty and I don't have a trusted mechanic so I would like to get some imput on what it could be before I bring it in somewhere. Breaks and wheels are newish.I feel like when your a girl they asume you have no idea a take advantage or talk at you like your dumb. So any idea's what it could be? I don't know what other details I could add the tires have about 12000 miles on them they are just under a year old

A: classic case of warped rotors. That is because your driving habits and braking too hard. It causes extreme wear and tear and creates super high temperatures that causes the metal rotors to distort because of the high heat and that causes the rotors to warp. Stop driving like a formula 1 racers and get cross drilled or slotted rotors or both in one. You probably need high quality brakes and rotors because of your driving habits. I suggest you take it easy as you can shorten other components in your car such as steering and suspension and drive train all which are very expensive to repair. Replacing and rotors and brakes are super easy anyone can do it even non mechanical people. One of the easiest things to do on a car. Get a book or video and check out youtube and other site such as expertvillage and they will show you how to replace brakes and rotors. Get a manual on your car exact year and use that as a guide.The whole procedure is usually less than 1 or 2 pages at the most. Most shops are a rip off especially when it comes to brake they make high markup on parts and labor. That's why it's good to do them yourself. You don't need much tools either. Usually just a set of sockets or wrenches and a c clamp is all you need.
