There are a lot of threads here with this concern that are up on this forum and so many of them relate to ABS sensor problems with the front wheel bearing hubs. Others will chime in too but that is also easier to diagnose. Has to be checked for play in the bearing that is allowing damage to a wheel speed sensor or wire damage to those sensors. There is just one sensor at the rear if I remember right. Could be other things as I said but this is the most common. Good luck.

Almost forgot to ask, is there any grind/rubbing noise at the front area? Especially if you make a slight turn left or right? Like change lanes only slightly more steering wheel movement, like going from 12 to 2 or 12 to 10.

^^^ THIS and narrow it down by getting the ABS trouble codes with a scanner that reads ABS codes. Not all do.
