    for some reason my brakes have been acting up, when i come to complete stop they seem to lock up but the car still moves but they only do it for a second and then release and stop for a little then do it again. but today it is worse and is doing it more and more and is getting worse. any idea what this could be or what could cause this to happen, any help would be great. thanks, Damon

    When exactly does it seem like they lock up? Do they make any noises/ what does it sound like when they act up? It kind of sounds like it could be something with the ABS sensors; but I can't really say from your initial info.

    thats another thing, when it rains even like a little bit my abs will turn on for no reason at all and it just does it all the time but today really bad after igot done racing doing about 120 on the highway. but it makes a like vibrating sound kinda but today it was pulsing so i just took the car right back home, (only got about down the block) and if it means anything at all i just changed the passenger side cv axle this morning

    Yeah I'm not too sure about the cv axle having anything to do with it, but if it only makes the noise and pulsing right before you come to a stop, its a pretty good bet that one or more of your ABS sensors are f***ed
