Front driver anti-lock brake out?

Postby dmasini » Tue Mar 05, 2013 6:24 am

So I'm driving into work this morning and the brake light comes on. Then I notice as I'm slowing down the front drivers brake would catch intermittently with a lot of pops. Tapping on the brake pedal I could hear a buzzing sound but all other brakes felt normal. I limped it into a parking lot and looked/felt everything and it all looked fine; no fluid leaking.

When I turned the Path back on the brake light went away and it drove normally the rest of my trip. Anyone have this happen or know what the problem could be? I'm going to take it into the dealership to get a once-over but would like to be armed with some info before I do. Thanks guys.

Is it the BRAKE light or ABS light?

I think it should be the brake light. I experienced the same once...

If it's the brake light, then you might be low on fluid. The ABS light means one or more of your ABS sensors is out (VDC light too).
