I Have A 99GT.... I Just Noticed Today Leaving Work I Got To A Stop Light (Going Straight) And The Car Was Braking Perfectly. Until I Started Braking Into A Corner, Then A Nasty Grinding Sensation In The Pedal Kicked It Really Hard. Does Anyone Know What May Be The Problem??? :SNSign:

Bad ABS sensor, ABS module, or ABS ring. It is def a problem with the ABS system.

If it keeps doing it or the ABS light comes on you are going to have to fix it.

Depends on what is causing it... Have you done any work near the ABS sensors or rings such as installed new studs or brake work? Do you have different size tires on the front vs the back?

Is the ABS light on?

Was it raining? It could have just been a random glitch?

When the ABS system thinks a wheel is spinning at a different rate than the others, the system gets activated.

If ABS light is on get it checked out. Also, check your brake fluid level.

Also, check your rotors for grinding. Maybe the pad is worn?
