I would bring it into the dealer for diagnosis. Let me know if you need assistance establishing an appointment. Thanks - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

Go to Autozone, tell them to use their scanner and have them find which sensor needs to be replaced. Then be a courteous person and buy an ABS speed sensor from them for $22.
Save yourself the $453 that my dealership charged me for something so simple.

You get what you pay for on the internet with advice sometimes to include mine. Could have a component and or wiring issue.

Needs to be properly troubleshot and diagnosed and not have parts shotgun at it until hopefully fixed. Right way is to have someone or a shop with a high level scanning tool that can read ABS signals and take it for a test drive monitoring all 4 wheels when this "bump" thing occurs and narrow down which way to go.

ABS issues that do not stay hard failed are hard to troubleshoot by most shade tree mechanics without proper equipment.
