Brake application in wet weather, resulting in low frequency vibration, apparently from front brakes, with perceived reduction in brake effectiveness. After one or two brake applications under these conditions, brake function returns to normal with normal effectiveness and no noise or vibration.

There is a vibration in vehicle when braking, very noticable on damp pavement. It feels like the vehicle is jumping and jerking.
