I have a 2013 Dodge Avenger and these lights have been coming on and off. I also feel vibration on my brake pedal as I go to stop. Any answer would help before I take my car in. Thanks!

Ask the shop to check your brakes and wheel bearings. Worned tire can turn on those lights.

If you have a vibration when braking, that can fool the ABS into thinking younare skidding. Fix the vibration in the brakes and the rest may fix itself.

Yes, you will have to replace your brakes and likely the brake rotors as they are causing the vibration.
