When applying brakes brake pedal pushes up against foot and car vibrates making a chattering noise which seems to be coming from the front of the car. It seems the ABS was trying to work even though the pavement is dry.

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
I have discovered a brake fluid leak from the ABS modulator assembly in my 1997 buick lesabre. There is a recall (#00v114000) for this very same problem in 2000 lesabres. This can cause the braking system to malfunction! The recall should be extended to cover earlier years. In the mean time I am going to purchase a new ABS modulator assembly. I fear the new valve assembly will develop the same problem.
Abs warning light and traction control light stay on while driving. *ak
One of the two lines between the ABS system and master cylinder ruptured leaving the consumer with only 10%-20% of normal braking ability. Nlm
