Every so often the for about a month the anti-lock brake system would kick back slightly when the vehicle was coming to a stop. One Sunday morning while coming to stop the anti- lock system kicked back very hard and I ran into the vehicle in front of me. Now the system is kicking back at almost every stop!

When I apply brakes on dry pavements the anti lock braking prevents me from stopping. The brake pedal is forced up when I apply pressure causing me to push real hard for the vehicle to stop. This occurs very often when there is bumps in the road that my tires are rolling over as I apply my brakes causing for increased stopping distance.
