front brake problem when driving in snow

Hmmm someone please correct me if i'm wrong or talking bull but could it be air/dirt in the pipes? I know a similar thing can happen on my hydraulic mountain bike brakes if there is air in them and need bleeding.

Is it only doing it after it's snowed in say cold weather?

Hi it only does it when it snows and some times braking at speed on uneven roads

I reckon its your ABS and its doing what it should.

On snow (or ice) there is often zero grip, so the ABS is activated
immediately, resulting in the hard pedal and no stopping.

All ABS does is allow you to steer when stamping on the brakes and in actual fact stopping distances are longer with ABS in every condition-except rain.

Quite a few cars have the ability to turn ABS off for snowy weather.

yep abs sounds like the front of the cars fallen off and i get a judder through the pedals.Some cars the abs light comes on, other it dont.Useful eh!Try an emergency stop in the wet it should do the same
