Slowing down at a stop sign from 30MPH I notice my brake pedal stutter like the ABS was activated. It would only happen a few times a day, all a random through out the day. After 3 days of this, the ABS light and tc light came on. It was diagnosed with front left hub assembly needing to be replaced at $650. This was completed on a friday. By wednesday I was feeling stuttering in the brake pedal again and the ABS light came back on.
