Same sized wheels on all 4 corners? You have like a new problem every couple of days, you bought a lemon?

Pull all the wheels off and inspect the two foot ABS lines that go to the back of each wheel hub. For the fronts, look very, very closely at the black plastic backing on the rear of the front hubs. These things can time out and should be replaced if you push your car in the corners. The general rule of thumb for brake issues is to start at each wheel and work backwards. If only ONE of your ABS sensors or lines is broken, the system will read 300mph +. This is telling the system that the wheel is still spinning even though it's locked. So it doesn't apply hydraulic pressure to this wheel. Essentially you have 3 wheels working (ABS) and one wheel locked. This is a BIG TIME serious issue. Have you ever driven Daytona and go to full brakes at 120+ and have a wheel lock up with a car right in front of you? Get it looked at asap. For emergency braking your going to find that you have ZERO control of this situation---you'll be along for the ride.
