Default Vibration in brake pedal and steering wheel

I have about 5100 miles on my 06 Pacifica. I'm experiencing vibration in the brake pedal and steering wheel when I apply the brakes, worse the faster you are going. I think it might be the rotors; what does everyone else think? I was told they can machine the rotors, and it is included under the warranty, but new rotors will cost me. Can you verify? Thank you

Brake vibration caused by the rotors is covered for 1 year/20,000km[12,000 miles] At least in canada. At my dealership we will replace the rotors if under 1 year and 20,000km.

It shouldn't be worn brakes with that little mileage. I would say it could be warped rotors from over tightening the rims or a problem with the ABS sensors.
If I'm not mistaken I remember an owner having a similar issue and it was a faulty ABS sensor. Have it checked out by the dealer. Good luck!

Well I have an appointment on Friday mourning, I will let you know what they find out. They are also fixing a recall that concerns a PCM/fuel issue. Thank you

Well back from the dealer, and as I suspected my rotors were warped. They machined both front ends, and the brakes are very smooth with no vibrations now. Glad thats all it was. Thanks everyone!
