[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 124917, member: 113"] Since he linked his description to rain and emergency brake, it would appear his brake is indeed spongy, "sometime even worst that i can stop the car". It may be that owing to spongy brakes, he panics when the car does not stop, and stomps on the brakes, triggering the ABS. This may be more prevalent during rainy weather owing to road conditions causing more reasons to stomp on emergency brake. It does not rule out that it happens during dry weather too, except probably less dramatic, and hence not as obvious to his recollection. Which is why the discs should be [b]checked[/b]. May not be warped. Could simply be worn thin. Also need to check the pads as well. And the fluids. And finally, after eliminating the less-expensive items, which sounds like they are due anyway, the ABS obviously. However, if he goes to a less-than-capable or less-than-honest mechanic, the most expensive part which is the ABS is where they may start. [/QUOTE]
