ABS Randomly Goes Off

I have a strange problem--

In four or five instances, as I gently brake to a stop (when parking) in neutral, with the steering wheel turned about 3/4 of a turn, I get a sudden loss of braking power, and light ABS activation through the brake pedal, but no squealing from the tires. I don't have the DSC light flashing either.

This mostly happens in my driveway, where I pull in, shift to neutral, go around a parked car, and park on an angle, with the wheels turned. It's not a slippery surface or anything, and it happens when it's cooler (70s) and hotter (80s).

I've got a 500mi road trip coming up, and I'd rather not lose full braking power in the middle of Kentucky.

Thanks!
