ABS brakes fail (vibrate/shudder/grind) during bumpy and turning conditions. They do not stop car. Dealer notified of problem and indicated that it is normal. I think brakes are defective since they do not stop car at all during previously mentioned conditions. For example, I recently went through a dip and put the brake pedal to the floor without stopping.
