Brakes on this car were serviced (all four wheels) within the last 10k of driving. Suddenly, car "shudders" at times, but only on partial brake application. Car does not swerve. There is a "rubbing" sound. On follow up brake pedal effort, braking normalizes. This may not repeat each time, but seems to be more frequent now.
