Towards the end of my complaints .. prior to the 'fix', I swear I could feel the vehicle not want to stop completely .. it felt as if it would move 1 half inch forward. I thought the brakes were beginning to slip. Not a secure feeling, expecially after going downhill and having cars in front of you. So far, so good for me! I hope it's gone forever!

At this point I have a slight groan and dont feel it in the brake peddle.
Last time it got to ther point were I did feel it in the brake peddle.
I guess in time it will get worse.

Funny thing. My wife said it feels like the chassy moves foward from the body at the point of complete stop,Kinda what you are describing I said No but she might have a point.
Shes usually discribes problems better than I do (she drives the 3 most of the time),she used to help me swing motors back in the day and knows her shlt about cars.She can also go slideways in the 442 all the way down the block.Oh Yeh !
She described the noise as a groan(like F5) when I called it a grinding noise.


Hmmm3 it took 6000 , 7000 miles after fix to start making noise again.
How many miles since they fixed yours.?
