my abs is wack

ok so everytime i push the break and come to a roll of about 15-5 mph the brake pedal pushes back on me and i only have like 10% brake power and my car just keeps rolling, then sometimes my abs light comes on and the problem goes away and i stop just fine but i do skid if i slam the brakes to a dead stop (only tried that one time)

what should i do?

Re: my abs is wack

You can take your abs fuse out until you fix the problem. Beware of skidding though. People went w/o abs for years so you should be ok for a while.
