Question ABS grinding noise ??
Has anyone noticed that their ABS brakes make a grinding noise when activated? I've had many cars with ABS brakes and I never noticed a noise when I use them. Yesterday we were driving in heavy snow on side streets and when I braked and started to slide, the ABS kicked in but made a chattering grinding noise. Sounded weird to me but I've never owned a Toyota product so didn't know if this is normal. They work fine but just thought I'd check with you "experts"
Thanks!

yeah, I really hate that sound, it sounds like the front wheels are going to fall off! It's a horrible grinding/scraping sound...
