Vibration in brake pedal

This is a cross post from the braking noise thread, but does anyone notice a vibration feeling at the brake pedal when coming to a complete stop? I notice a subtle vibration when coming to a complete stop that lasts for maybe 1 second. It isn’t like a vibration you feel when ABS is engaged; it feels like there are some gears turning or something. I want to think it has to do with the VSC or the car trying to do some preventative measure or something. Edit: So after my hour drive home from work I paid closer attention to when this happens. No matter what speed I'm going (in stop and go traffic and going 65 mph), after the initial first few centimeters of depressing the brake, I feel the vibrations in the pedal, then it immediately goes away. It seems like something is being activated, then deactivated. It doesn't happen every time I push the brake, but more so after I haven't braked immediately before. I'm leading to this this is a premature reaction of the Brake Assist system or the EBD, but at the speeds and road conditions I'm experience this, there should be no reason either of these should be activating. Do any of you experience this? This is all in my 2010 Limited 4x4.

Well dealer now say all four rotors are warped and need to be resurfaced and brakes replaced because they all have "hot spots" on them. And even through this was brought in early on for the same symptoms this is not warranty. going driving today to check out the work and see if this cleared it up.

Do you have a record of the earlier examination? If so, I would contact Toyota Corp. and discuss it. The dealer may be looking to pick up some easy cash.
