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?
