| Description of the problem | Brake judder from front brakes.[xxx]. I have had numerous episodes like this "bad abs, i think, on armada". Everything goes well and am traveling at low speed or pulling out of the parking and step on the brakes and hear a terrible grinding sound coming from the brakes in addition to a spring like sound and a significant reduction in braking power. This continues until i pull off the road and shut off the engine and then start it back up and the brakes work fine. This has happen 8-10 times since may 2014. It did happen couple of time when i was traveling with 20-30 mph and i come to stop, causing groaning, banging noises and feel spongy. This started happening in the same week or so after i had brake work done by dealer. I had taken my car to dealer to replace rotor and pads. This didn't happen before that time. I took the car back to dealer in july and complained about this issue. They reset the module and suggested to replace the booster if it happens again. I ran the scanner to see error code c1179, delta stroke sensor. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
