Weird brake problem

I have yet a NEW brake problem, this after 3 previous ones. Huuuuuh. This is getting tiring.

Ok, aside from the squeal that I can't get rid of, despite 3 brake changes, here's the NEW problem....

I'm driving along. Most of the time, the car stops normally, despite some squeal. But lately, just before coming to the complete stop, I let my foot up on the pedal a bit (since the car is almost stopped), and the pedal gets pushed back up, and the car lurches forward just an inch. I'm thinking it could be the glazing that builds up from the chronic brake squeal.

Regarding the squeal, I'm using Pagid pads and OEM rotors from NAPA. We used a high temp stuff on the back of the pads this last time in an effort to reduce squeal, and it did help a lot, but hasn't stopped the problem completely.

Thanks,

Sometimes they just make noise, the rears on my SDL made noise no matter what I did. I changed the rotors and pads and no more squeal. The ATE rotors squealed, Zimmerman didn't go figure!

Sounds like an ABS speed sensor is acting up.
