Default Subaru Impreza ABS Failure

Anyone had similar?

Doing about 30-40 mph in crap conditions and braked, only for no ABS to kick in. £4000 worth of damage later...

Sort of half put it down to the road, but on searching the internet I found this reference to it in the US:

And a guy down the street who does some sort of motoring journalism thingy, found the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the States are investigating it.

Does anyone know if this has come up in this country?

Was this in a straight line or was the car spinning etc?

Had a sensor go a while ago - cost about £100 to replace and had some bizaare feedback from the break pedal when I breaked before it was fixed. Always stopped though... Unlucky mate

Going into a sharp right hand bend, but on the straight, hadn't even started turning.

And the bloody druids had been in the field a few thousand years ago and left sodding great lumps of rock. God only knows how I didn't hit any of them!
