1999 Ford Taurus: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed May 24, 2005 · Brakes · CA

I have a 1999 ford taurus I have the anti-break system (ABS). I have had the car for 5 years and never made any noise until the past week. I brought it into ford garage and they said it is common and don't worry. While driving I feel pulsation and vibration while breaking. When I do go speed above 10mph it stops. If I stop and turn the engine off and start again it again vibrates and pulsates. It it scary because you feel there is something wrong. They tell me it is common and in the manual. If it did this when I bought the car or anyone this model I don't think they would of sold a car. I feel ford should take care of this problem. They are aware of it.
