LR4 2013 HSE LUX when applying brakes going downhill, usually in the morning, sometimes when damp out- sometimes not- i feel that my brakes are "grabbing" before stopping. there's no warning light illuminating on the dash. it's similar to the ABS effect. is this a reason to bring the car in for service?

The "ABS effect" would cause me to bring it in especially if the issue can be consistently reproduced. Additionally, if it goes away after initial startup you may need to have the shop keep the car overnight.

Is the grabbing happening on it's own or are you depressing the brakes and then experiencing subsequent grabbing?
