1994 Jeep grand Cherokee 4wd (not AWD)
4.0L Automatic with about 150k miles
Here's my problem. my brakes are sometimes perfectly fine for weeks at a time, but randomly i lose my brakes for a couple seconds when i try to stop. my ABS seem to go crazy and my pedal gets hard to push and vibrates, while its doing this the car will not stop. after a couple seconds of it doing this my brakes come back and work perfectly,it does this every couple days but never more than once per day, or sometimes i wont have a problem for a few days. i haven't had a brake problem for a couple weeks until today when i was going to a stop sign i hit the brakes and they were hard as a rock and i had no brakes at all for about 4 seconds then all of a sudden they just came on. if there was a car coming i would have got T-boned...
My ABS light comes on but its only on maybe 50% of the time I'm driving and the ABS light will be on when my brakes are working perfectly fine. then when my brakes act up and get stiff and no brakes i see that the ABS light is NOT on ? any idea what would be causing this ?
i got the ABS code of Wheel sensors bank 1 and bank 2 but others have said it could be ABS sending Unit ? I'm not working now and ABS can be pretty expensive, especially if I'm not sure what the real problem is.
