Anti-lock braking sounds terrible
This week we got some snow, and I took my G sedan out in it the other morning. For the first time since buying it last summer, I felt and heard the anti-lock braking mechanism working.
WOW, it sounds horrible. Like an awful grinding and crunching of gears. It's not supposed to sound like that, is it? I've driven other cars with ABS before, and they did not sound like that.

I drove mine home last night after work and the traction control kicked in quite a few times at 15mph and but it sounds and feels like the brake pads are going all rapid fire on the rotors (because they are). I didn't hear any grinding at all. That kind of sounds like your brake pads are gone and you're going metal on metal. I'd get it checked out if I were you!
