Help! Vibration normal???

Had my 2010 Clumban (non s) for 5 weeks now and have noticed during normal driving conditions, upon braking, there is a slight vibration. As I press the brakes with more and more pressure the vibration goes away. She is automatic. I have had abs brakes before, and this is not the same sensation as when abs is engaged(strong pulsing). Just a slight vibration when initially applying pressure.

Husband tested and doesn't think this is normal.

Thoughts?!?

Hi,
Do you have any kind of warranty that might have come with the car? If so, I'd take in into where you bought it and have them address the problem.

Not sure what it is, but it's not normal.

Thanks, yes , I have whats left of the new car warranty. When time for regular maintenance, which I get free, will address the issue. Meanwhile she brakes fine, just hope waiting wont hurt anything. I have just over 5000 miles on her...
