Hi,

If you feel it in the pedal, chances are it is related to a warped brake rotor. Since you only notice it at the pedal, there is a good chance it is the rear brake pads/rotors.

Interestingly, I found a technical service bulletin (TSB) related to brake pad issues. I attached it below for your review.

By chance, have the brakes been worked on recently? I realize the vehicle has 110K on it so the pads are not original, but the TSB could be relevant if the old design was used.

Let me know.

Take care,

Joe
