Im getting a new digital camera this weekend maybe Ill take a video with sound and list it .

It would be GREAT if you could put the groan sound in the post! Then we could compare notes and see if we're talking about the same sound. Sit in the back seat while your wife drives .. you should hear it in the rear.
Wellll, <grrrrrrrrrrrr>, I took mine to the dealer yesterday for my A pillars to be changed out and oil change/ tire rotation, etc. I should probably wait a few days before I write about the BIG welcome I received when I drove in. (not!) That's a whole 'nother story. Anyways, I mentioned to the service writer that the groan came back .. I heard it twice in 2 days. (I'd probably be hearing it all of the time, but I'm rolling to a stop and praying it goes away). I asked if they could check it out .. he barked back, "Not if you need it back in 3 1/2 hours!!" Ahhh, it's great when you get good customer service, isn't it? I told him I needed it back by a certain time, plus I opted to wait for it rather than take a loaner. I told him I'll keep an eye on it and bring it back if I keep hearing it. He nodded.

Is there any update on this problem ? I'm having the same problem now. The grinding sound is like the front brake caliper is touching to the wheel, and the brake pedal is also vibrated simultaneously. But, there is no impression of rubbing between a brake caliper and a wheel.

I have no chance to check the grinding sound from outside. Therefore, I can't tell you whether or not mine is the same sound as the one you are experiencing. But, the timing when the sound is generated is the same as yours. It's just before a complete stop.

Mine is the same as fourfourto's sound. When you're driving, the sound inside the truck sounds more muffled ... more of a low groan sound, close to what you hear on his #1 sound file. We can both also feel something in the brake pedal at the same time that we hear the groan when you come to a final braking stop.

Hmmm3 and BB try to get a sound file also when are you bringing it in to the dealer.

I don't know this works for others, but just for your information.

Today I tired one little thing, and there is no groan sound now. What I have done is to lower the right front a little by torsion bar adjustment (equalize the height of left and right front), that's it.

I guess that ABS was activated and it made a groan sound from the right front, becuase the height of the right front was higher than the left and the weight of the vehicle intensively moved on the right front tire when braking on a downhill road.
