I had the same problem, and they fed me the same line of BS about the anti-locks. Turns out there is a tech bulletin out there, issued in March 2004 dealing with this problem. Take it back in, and ask them to find the bulletin. The geniuses I dealt with, tried fixing the rear brake problem (I'm not kidding) by replacing the front rotors and pads. After they did that, the rear problem was even more pronounced, so I took it back, and they then found the tech bulletin, and fixed the problem. My biggest complaint now is the serpentine belt squeals every morning upon startup. They've replaced the belt, but no fix is evident.
