It also only happens at low speeds, slowing down really fast from high speeds the brakes feel normal.

Starting to think it could be the engine surging at low speeds, but that is unlikely. More like the brakes do not grab all of the way.

Took it to the dealer and they had the "your crazy" look and turned me away. I am not sure if I am using the right terminology to describe the problem to them but it is annoying. Anyone already fix an issue like this?

No one at the dealer test drove it??? If you decide to take it to them, have them take it for a test drive and ride along with them...

BTW, I haven't a clue...

I will go home and dig for the paperwork they gave me at the time.

That is really frustrating!
Waaaat? That's crappiepoo! Be persistent, go back and get 'em to test drive it again....you want this covered under your warranty...
