Default ABS Engaging on moderate braking

my abs is kicking in when i apply mr brakes moderately to forcefully... if i ease on the real easy it doesnt kick in but if i get down on them even the slightest bit my ABS kicks in and wont let me push the pedal down any further... what would cause this??? my tires are all the same size and it doesnt have any lights on dash.. no ABS light on... so does it think that one tires spinning faster than another?? and what can i try to do....

Probably have some rust or debris on one of the front ABS sensors, there's a recall for that exact condition. A google search will probably yield the recall info

Here's a quick link I found with some info about it, but not the cleaning procedure...gotta get back to work or I'd dig a little deeper for ya..

Actually, from reading that link, the sensor gets pushed away from the reluctor wheel on the hub due to corrosion

You could also check for play in a worn out wheel bearing/hub assembly.
