2 Brake Sensor problem

Failure Date: 09/10/2014

Problem: brakes disengage or as I've been told the abs system is engaging when it shouldn't. The front end of my car sounds like it dropping out and I'm hearing a very loud grinding noise. This is happened several times in the past 2 years. Had brakes serviced twice in the past 2 years. Replaced pads, turned rotors. Changed brake fluid. Had sensors checked. Checked by the dealer as well as another brake shop(firestone). They couldn't find any computer codes to definitely say what the problem is. Only recommended replacing a computer part. I told them I wasn't spending over $1000 on a recommendation. Even carried it to firestone, since the dealer service dept was closed yesterday evening at 6:45pm when it happened again. Didn't turn off the car with the "brake", "vcs" and another yellow light on and they really didn't see any codes that stood out. Very frustrating and concerning with my wife and kids riding in this car!!!!.
