Nick Carberry Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hello, I've had my 07' with 21k miles on it for about 2 weeks now, and seem to be getting something weird when driving around town. At a decent speed (30 mph+) when it comes time to put some brake on, it seems like they "spike" then ease down. I know I'm not stomping on the pedal, and have tried a couple times to ease the brakes on, but still get it occasionally. Anyone else have the issue or know what's up? Thanks, Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 You mean the brake grabs and then lets goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Carberry Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 You got it. Same pressure applied, but grabs, then gets looser before pressing down further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have noticed that on only a few occasions in my 06 but have never really paid attention to it other than just pass it off as possible a change in pressure in the booster. I am a responsive/tactile driver and find myself very aware of vibrations, sounds and sensations such as this. I can say that braking was not effected in the least. I just found my self pressing ever so slightly more (but not much). I didn't see if as a problem. I also cannot recreate it at will. The best I can surmise that it occurs when trhe tranny is downshifting and simultaneously braking lightly. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The G Man Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Like Steve said, it could a bunch of things, brake tranny down shifting, torque converter, brake booster pump or master cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
