What do you do if your car makes a thumping when you apply the brakes and slows at the same speed as the car?

Answer

If it is coming out of the front, it sounds like a loose brake caliper, or loose brake pads. I would get it looked at asap.

Answer

sounds like disk was overheated and neads to be turned down. It usaually can be done once or twice before it needs replaced. If you ride the brakes or, going downhill hold the breaks and don't allow them ot cool. it'll overhead the rotor and they'll warp. Kind of like a clutch plate in a manual transmission.

It'll caost around $100.00 for rotor and disk pads for the front end.

Answer

ok it may be simplar than that! my 91 mazda did the same thing. if you car has (ABS) brakes then it may be the relay. mine was out; replaced it and now it stops.

answer sounds like your rotars are out of round or cracked. to check this , remove wheel , look at rotars blue spots will indicate overheating and distotrion most cracks are visable
