Working on fixing this problem. ABS activates almost every stop, on dry pavement. Sometimes it activates while driving in a parking lot at very low speed. Also, the speedometer jumps around when driving at high speed.

abs light on all the time. seems to grab when stopping below 15 mph. I believe it has something to do with the wheel speed sensors.

ABS kicks in a vibrates like crazy when you use the brakes and it often feels like it isn't catching and stopping. Just had the brakes "fixed", so it should be pads or anything like that. Haven't fixed it yet.
