surge when braking ...downshifting?
sometimes, when i brake, the brakes suddenly become more powerful....like a surge. is there something wrong with the pads/rotors? although last night, i saw the tach move up a bit while breaking and thought the car could be downshifting. that downshifting could be causing this surge feeling. anyone else experience this?

I think our cars use "grade logic" so maybe the thing senses going uphill/downhill and adjusts the gearing accordingly so you don't have to use the brakes as much going down, and it won't gear hunt going uphill.
