Why does a Vibe car with less than 100 miles on it have shimmy in the steering wheel when applying brakes?

A vehicle with less than 100 miles on it should not have any shimmy in the steering wheel when applying the brakes. Several factors could cause this issue, and it is important to have it diagnosed and repaired as soon as possible to ensure safe operation of the vehicle. One possible cause is that the brake rotors are warped. This can happen during the manufacturing process, or it can be caused by excessive heat from hard braking. Warped rotors can cause the brake pads to grab unevenly, which can lead to shimmy in the steering wheel. Another possibility is that one of the lug nuts holding the wheel in place is loose or missing. This can cause the wheel to wobble and cause the steering wheel to shake. Finally, it is also possible that the brake calipers or other components of the braking system are not properly aligned or functioning correctly. Without further inspection, it would be difficult to diagnose the exact cause of the shimmy. It is important to have the vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to determine the cause of the problem and have it repaired.
