I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A HILL AT ABOUT 35-40 MPH. WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM KICKED IN FOR SOME REASON AND THE BRAKES WENT STIFF AND I COULD BARELY STOP. MECHANIC SAID WHEEL SENSOR, IT WAS CHANGED AND I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE ABS KICKS IN AT THE WORST TIMES WHEN YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN COMING TO AN INTERSECTION THE BRAKES GO STIFF. ALMOST GOT KILLED. *TR
