Yes, I did have this problem before the front brake rotors were machined and the rear brake drums were resurfaced. I did take the car back to the dealer the following day. After 5 hours and no status update, I called the dealership and left a message. They called back and spoke with my husband. The dealership said that they did a test drive in which they drove the car 2 to 4 miles and did not experience the brake problem. They told my husband that we could either pick up the car or leave it with them for another day. He chose to leave it with them. The following day, they did a test drive in which they drove the car 10 to 15 miles and they experienced the brake problem! Apparently, the dealership's computer diagnostic tools did not notice that the brake problem was still happening. So, the dealership had to do a visual inspection. They found that the sensor wiring harness was completely corroded. They had to courier the part in since they didn't have it in stock. I got my car back today and, so far, the issue seems to be resolved.
