Maybe nothing is wrong. Stopping hard or stopping on slick surfaces will kick the ABS into action.

do you have an abs light on? does the light come on when you step on the brakes? did the rotors get serviced with the last brake job? warped rotors will give your car a shudder feeling. they warp from overheating your brakes

no lights are on and when pushing on brakes no lights come on...the abs kicks in when stopping only at slow speeds
