I'm figuring that the ABS brakes are on when I hear grinding noise upon applying the brakes. When this ocurrs I immediately release the brakes thinking that something is going to fall out the bottom and I start pumping the brakes to keep from hitting the car in front of me. Would it be okay to press the pedel to the floor until I come to a complete stop? I also feel the shaking, pulling underneath my foot. Is this normal?

Replying to: jlindh (Mar 04, 2009 6:27 pm) I've seen many similar posts over the years, from owners with their first car with ABS. Caution with suspected brake problems is always advisable, but I also don't like to unduly alarm people for something that could be normal operation. A recent, personal example: I was driving a week ago (not in my Hyundai) right after a big snowstorm. Turned right from a (mostly) plowed road onto an unplowed road and then started a U-turn. The Brake and ABS lights started flashing. Oh, no! I thought. I was less than a block from my destination so I parked, did my errand, then later called the dealer (car is under warranty). I explained my problem and noted I really wanted it taken care of right away (this was a Saturday, but hey, it's the brakes!), and the service writer said they were full up until Monday. After I expressed dismay at that, she asked me to hold for a minute. When she returned, she said that they have had several calls just like mine that morning, and the "problem" was probably just snow packed into the wheels, causing the ABS sensor to go haywire. She said it should clear up as soon as the snow gets out of the wheels. Sure enough, after less than half a block the lights went out.
