2 Brake Electric Antilock problem

Failure Date: 03/03/1999

It happens probably 2 times a day. When I am almost stopped from a slow speed pulling in a driveway, it sounds like the abs brakes are going off. They make a funny vibrating noise and the brake pedal goes wacko. It doesn't want to stop. It seems to happen more now than ever before. I took it to the dealer and they said nothing was wrong, yet I know that this is not right. I feel very uncomfortable and scared that one day it really isn't going to stop. Please advise if you have any ideas. Thank you!.
