Thanks Gilly. Now I've got something to go on. But wouldn't the brake/abs warning light come on if there were a problem with it? I suspect the abs hydraulic unit is very expensive. Any idea what that might cost to replace if defective? Maybe a hefty repair bill would help change my wife's view on trading it for something else. This has happened to her several times and she seems content to let the vehicle sit for 30 min or so and go about her way. Now that I think about it, this anomaly always happens in city driving (stop and go traffic) and never on our highway travels.

BTW, great idea on how to get rid of the thing....you have an active imagination. I'm glad you're in the business of repairing cars as opposed to selling them. Hmmm...now that's an idea, isn't it?
