Possibly a faulty ABS. There are a number of posts on ABS options including,
repair, repair with rebuilt, replace with OEM. If you are at all handy you can even repair yourself from info on this link.

ONLY AFTER making sure that's were the fault lies.

Good luck

Either you have a loose or dirty ABS sensor or you need to rebuild the ABS module. Most likely it's the module since all 1996+ modules go bad eventually.
