Recently I had to stop very quickly from about 60mph. The brakes on my car are great and it stopped in the space I had no problem. The only issue was a strange noise from the rear. It was sort of a grinding noise. I only have around 12k miles on the car and the dealer did not say anything at my 10k service about brake wear. Under normal braking conditions everything is smooth and quiet. All my rotors look to be in excellent condition with smooth but not glazed surfaces, and no signs of overheating. The only thing I could think of was maybe it was the ABS functioning, but there was zero feedback in the pedal. All my past vehicles (American) give some feedback through the brake pedal when the ABS is doing it's thing. is this typical on German cars as well? Any input is welcome.
