I have a 07 si sedan and the other day I was braking and hit a bumb. My brakes felt and sounded like they were grinding badly. I dunno what it is or if its supposed to happen.

Has this happened to any one else?

 

This isn't a problem. It is your ABS (anti-lock braking system) kicking in. When you hit a bump, the wheel can sometimes loose complete traction very briefly causing ABS to kick in. I just try to not be braking when hitting a bump.

 

i have had this happen to me too. ^^^ sounds like a good explanation

x2, I hate driving around Whittier,CA when I go for business.

 

ya it happens to me everyday in PA, potholes everywhere

 

yep, ABS

kinda scary because lots of potholes up here are near traffic lights and if i have to stop for a yellow, ABS kicks in and my wheel hops and sometimes i stop in the middle of the ped crosswalk

 

that would be scary

 

i also experience this regularly when riding over a bumpy surface. weird thing is, it still happens when i'm driving 2 mph. but yeah, it's definitely the abs

 

I knew it was ABS that was catching but I didnt know why the hell it was grinding. Thanks now I just dont brake over bumps

thanks for the advice
