Was coming up to a stop sign & hit the brakes, ABS kicked in while doing 25 mph & car wouldn't stop, car slowed down & when i was at a crawl the brakes locked up & left 4 skid marks. After that the ABS light stays on. You shut off the car & restart it & the light is off. Doesn't do it all the time but enough to scare the crap out of the wife while almost rearending someone. Have a friend coming over Friday to scan the ABS. Also don't see any leaks & master cylinder is full.
:bang head:
if you have to push hard to stop i would think your power boosters not getting enough vacuum or booster is bad would be my first clue.
