Sometimes when I apply hard pressure to the brakes they make a gurgle noise. They still stop, but the noise just sounds horrible. I checked the rotors and there are no groves and the pads look fine. Any ideas about the weird noise.

It's the ABS working.

So the abs will actually make a gurgle noise when appling the brakes sometimes.

abs doesn't really "gurgle". When this noise happens, can you feel your pedal juttering along with the noise?

I've noticed a shuddering in the pedal, but I thought that was just ABS? It has happened a couple times where the brakes weren't going to lock though.

mine does it when i come to a slow stop sometimes and sometimes under moderate braking. it almost sounds like fluid sloshing around really hard in a bottle or something or like a deep grinding noise sometimes but i also get a feeling like the brakes aren't going to work and then they catch and then they release again and catch until i am fully stopped. plus the stearing wheel shakes like crazy. getting it checked out on thursday
