ABS system too sensitive. System engage over rough pavement then failed to allow the brakes to grip again resulting in a near collision with a tollbooth. Pedal will drop to floor with near 0 braking.

Very concerned about my brakes: This only happens after backing up and moving forward. At this point when I apply the brake to stop, I'll either hear a clank or clank, clank sound from under the car. I can't tell if it's from the front left or right front. It almost sounds like a rock coming loose from the tire and hitting the wheel well at 55 mph but I'm only moving at 5 mph. I took the car to mark thomas motors to have it checked out and their report says they couldn't find anything wrong and that this is typical and not a problem. I believe this is a potential problem and this sound could be causing damage to part(s) that could lead my brakes to fail when I need them. I need assistance in this matter. Thanks - rich.

Brakes: The pedal feel is too soft or the engagement is late, the pedal has to go almost all the way to the floor before the brakes engage engine/tranmission: Car will hesitate going from first to second gear usually around the 1K to 2.5K RPM. The car bucks, and bounces.
