The wheel speed sensors, rust build up between the sensor, and the mount of the sensor. At low speeds the wheel speed sensor malfunctioned while driving at 10 mph, which caused the ABS to disengage, causing the system to pulsate.

When stopping and the vehicle's speed reaches 5 mph, the ABS engages. When this occurs controlling the vehicle is difficult, when going straight and the vehicle is uncontrollable when turning. The dealership feels that the ABS sensor which controls the ABS at 5 mph may be corroded and needs to be cleaned. The ABS sensor has been cleaned and the problem ceased. The consume was told that this is a cold climate problem. There are technical service bulletins issued but there are no recalls at this time.
