I took delivery of our 2013 JX35 around Oct 2012. We have about 14000 miles on it. Lately, I've experienced what I would call as very soft brakes. It doesn't happen all the time and I'm not sure that I can repeat it consistently.
I would be driving down the road and coming to a stop, but the car won't stop until I step all the way down on the pedal. Normally, I can sense the car starting to stop at a very light touch and then stop fully when the pedal is half depressed. When I let go of the brakes during these instances, I can hear/feel a noise like something is sucking for air. It doesn't happen when it's stopping normally. Does anyone know what the brakes are doing when it's "sucking air"? When I let go of the brakes and reapply it, it immediately bites again as if nothing happened.
I've read a few other threads that are similar but all of those took the car directly to the dealership and left it there kinda. I know there's a recall, but my car is out of the range. Haven't called the dealership yet since I can't consistently reproduce it.
