Brakes Slipping/Skipping

hemimojo · 09-03-2008, 03:05 PM

Curious if anyone can clue me in on what to expect for diagnosis when I take my car to dealer Friday.

Brakes ACCSIONALY slip and skip during initial braking. A couple light stop-and-goe's and they correct.
The ABS light comes on and occasionaly stays on periodically during normal driving.

Niether issue above is a constant and no pattern to it...just seems random.

Hoping for some info before the Stealership diagnosis...

Thanks!!

Sounds like a bad sensor to me. Not sure what kind of "ring" is on the Mag to detect lockup, but Some other types have gaps in them. If something is in one of those gaps, might screw it up. Good luck!

A green Bean to you 4rwheeler. It was the sensor and it is always good to go in to a dealer informed...thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
