Air Brake Abs Warning Light problem #1

I have a 1999 Ford Taurus I have the anti-break system (abs). I have had the car for 5 years and never made any noise until the past week. I brought it into Ford garage and they said it is common and don't worry. While driving I feel pulsation and vibration while breaking. When I do go speed above 10mph it stops. If I stop and turn the engine off and start again it again vibrates and pulsates. It it scary because you feel there is something wrong. They tell me it is common and in the manual. If it did this when I bought the car or anyone this model I don't think they would of sold a car. I feel Ford should take care of this problem. They are aware of it.

Air Brake Wheel Speed Sensor problem #2

Consumer state while traveling notice vehicle kicking into one gear then into another without any indication. Dealer has been contacted and stated speed sensor need to be replaced. Please provide furthr information.
