I have noticed this morning when just starting out, as I was completely stopped, I let off the brake just enough to let it creep. As it was creeping it was sort of pulsing and bouncing as I let it roll with my foot on the brake. It seemed to go away after driving it a while, but this is the first time I noticed it. The brake pads are in excellent condition and it is very smooth ( no pulsing when coming to a stop. Any others have had this happen?

Probably slight pad/rust build up on the rotors from sitting overnight. Did you wash it yesterday or was it raining/humid? I've had them pulse a bit in the morning until a stop or two cleaned them off. I've also had the pads stick to the rotors first thing in the morning after a wash/rain/high humidity. Once or twice they stuck enough I had to give it some gas to break them free.

Yes It was humid and rainy, I just needed confirmation that it was this. I was waiting for a security gate to open and I was creeping along. I am glad to know it wasn't a failing brake part :)
