The brakes were worked on but this problem still persists. ABS light on, sometimes steady, and you can hear them activating when first starting out. One time they seemed to 'lock'.

Erratic brake pedal with grinding and pulsating. Can act like it won't stop. Metal-on-metal grinding sound.

My ABS light and the BRAKE light go on after driving for about 5 minutes and then stay on. The sensor to replace it is about $1000 (that is the estimate I was given). So I will just ignore the lights.
