DURING ROUTINE CITY DRIVING, MODERATE BRAKING PRODUCES SIGNIFICANT GRINDING NOISE AND ASSOCIATED VIBRATION IN BRAKE PEDAL. BRAKING ACTION IS STILL GOOD, BUT NOISE PRODUCES A SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHICH CREATES TENDENCY FOR THE DRIVER TO RELEASE BRAKE PRESSURE TO ELIMINATE THE NOISE. FAILURE SEEMS TO OCCUR DURING ALL TYPES OF WEATHER AND DRIVING CONDITIONS, BUT IS MOST OFTEN OBSERVED WHEN MOISTURE IS PRESENT EITHER IN HUMID WEATHER OR PRECIPITATION. DEALER CHECKED ROTORS AND PADS WITHIN TOLERANCES AND ALL CALIPERS APPEAR IN ORDER. DEALER CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM, BUT ADMITS OTHER DRIVERS HAVE REPORTED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN THE SAME MODEL YEAR AND TRIM. *TR
