Default 04 brake grab

Has anyone else had or heard of a problem with the 2004 Accord brakes grabbing? When I first touch the pedal it grabs much to hard for my taste and wanted to know if anyone else has found a solutation? This is about the only thing I dislike about the car. The car grabbed from when it was new and they told me it will wear in, that has been 17,000 miles ago.

Thanks in advance
Bob

Mine don't grab on the '04, but are much more touchy than our '96. It just takes getting used to. Of course the LX doesn't have discs on the rear, maybe it's different with the EX?
