The issue with my car is that sometimes (not always - seems to be when the weather is warmer or when I have been driving stop and go in the city a lot) my brakes grind. And I'm not talking "squeeling get them done at 'Just Brakes' for 99.88" brakes. Like actual gears grinding. Sometimes, it even sounds similar to the noise it makes when you blow bubbles in your chocolate milk. I can also feel this on the pedal when this happens. The car doesn't do anything else differently, just the brakes. I have taken my car in several times to several places, but the only problem is whenever someone else is trying to hear/feel this, it NEVER happens. Figures, right? HELP ME!

Try to drive it and warm it up and get it to do it for you and then visit the 1st shop u see and ask them to check the noise for you
check the caliper hoses
check rotors and rear brakes too
