I went to another auto mechanic who asked "Is it the ABS kicking in?" I told him I didn't think it was because I thought it didn't sound/feel like the ABS but after a while I thought it could be. The question was how do I test it to make sure it is the ABS? I decided to remove the fuse for the ABS from the fuse panel to see what would happen. The problem disappeared for two months. I put the fuse back in and the problem started happening again right away. I think the wheel speed sensors for the ABS system might be broken. I will take the car to the same mechanic who suggested the problem might be the ABS and see if he can fix the problem. I'm soooo glad this problem is solved. However, now I have to pay to get it fixed. :-(
