Brakes pumping when slowing from, e.g., 70 mph to 55 mph with brakes lightly applied. Also some slight shimmy in steering wheel. Problem did not occur when braking slightly harder from lower speeds (e.g, 55 mph) to stop. Repair shop diagnosis was " very, very slight warping of front rotors". Rotors were turned (according to repair shop) "absolute minimum amount". Problem with pumping and shimmy was eliminated. Other Ridgeline owners have said that bits of brake pad can stick to rotors causing this problem but repair shop said "not possible" (for what it's worth).
