2001 Tribute V6 has good brake pads and disks but from time to time, a
low-volume, high-pitch whine can be heard, that appears to come from the
front of the vehicle. When I just tap the brake pedal the whine stops
but comes back some seconds later. This goes on very intermittently. The
first time it happened for about a week. The second, about a month
later, lasted only a day or two. Recently it happened and it lasted only
one day (getting better?!?!?!).
A service manager says he knows of another Tribute with exactly the same
 symptoms. But cannot find the answer. A $600 brake job did not fix the
problem.
Any ideas?
