Car had the shakes!
Hello -
It was the first cold day in Toronto ( woke up at 15C 59F) and as I started driving, got up to 80-100KM the car was shaking very strong! wheel was out of control. I was about to pull over but then continued and got in traffic and noticed during traffic - going at 10km/h - the car was slightly jerking. 30min passed while in traffic and it was fine after - no shakes as if nothing happened.
Any idea what happened in the morning? It wasnt that cold to affect the car? and i just replaced my brakes and rotors so that shouldnt be the problem ( plus i was just driving without pressing the brakes at first)
Thanks!

Since you just changed rotors & pads and then you get this vibration, sure sounds like it is related. I'd go ahead and check torque on all bolts that were R & R'd during that service. Also, doesn't take much buildup under a rotor to get a vibration, so you may have to clean up under one of your rotors perhaps.

20min later it all stopped.. and ran smoothly again.

Yeah, that would be disturbing to say the least. It's possible you picked up some road debris that wrapped around a part in motion and caused that momentary shudder. But like Kaboom mentioned, wouldn't hurt to take a good look around, and getting it up on a lift would be best.
