Will maybe a dirty or a faulty ABS sensor.

Have you had any suspension work done recently or brake work done?

Or maybe just got some dirty on them?? Have a look at the sensors or the dirty may just clear out itself.

Mine did this after I fitted my coilovers.

Cheers.

Could be the cause.

If it was just some dirt on the sensor it may have been blown off now. I would not worry too much as its just the pedal bouncing.

If it keeps happening get the garage to check it out.

Are you saying the car braked by itself? :shock:

If it did, I wouldn't hesitate in getting your car checked out. Dirt
