MJP:
Thanks for your informative post. I wonder if I have two separate issues: the brake noise and the brake delay/loss of pressure. They did seem to start happening at the same time; or perhaps I just noticed them at the same time.
Regardless, I have a *very* noticeable brake noise. All passengers have noted it, and it can be heard outside the car. Brake pressure loss seems to occur when the brakes are hit hard on the highway - in all weather.
According to the dealer, the brake noise is caused by corrosion on the rotors, due to salt/winter conditions. The loss of pressure is due to that same corrosion causing a film on the rotors, thereby causing the calipers to not make proper contact.
does this make sense to you? dealer was quite nice about it all; i'm just concerned.
