Weird Brake Problem

The maxima has developed a very weird brake related noise/ problem when trying to stop....

it only happens on slow stops, but it is a weird almost buzzing, which can be felt in the pedal, which almost feels like it has faded a bit...

The master cylinder was just replaced, as were the rear pads and rotor, and the system was totally bled. I am thinking it is somehow related to either the brake linkage or the ABS system...

any ideas!
I appreciate it!

a buzzing (or pulsing felt through the pedal) is normally the ABS system activating and pulsing the brakes

so is this normal, I do know what ABS feels like when activated. This is only on very slow stops, so it makes me think there may be air in the lines somewhere, or that there is something wrong in the break pedal linkage....

The tubings are plenty and complicated; quite possible that theres still air bubbles. U say uself that theres smtg wrong, must be checked...

If it was done in a shop, go back. See how air bleeding is done at shop; anyways u go an' check the maxima ABS bleeding procedure again. If it was done in own garage, go back...
