Default Braking problem

Hey, what's up everyone, I have a little bit of a situation. I have a 98 LS1 WS6 T/a and I'm having a problem with my braking..This all started about a month ago, and when I'm stopping it feels like I have to press the break 2-3 times stronger than I normally would have to, and then sometimes I feel a weird rumble on my break petal, almost like the feeling of if your breaks are going metal to metal, but I have no squeaking. Sometimes if I hit a bump, my "brake" "low traction" and "abs" lights flicker on. I have no clue why it does this? Does anyone have a clue?? Thanks

Your problem sounded exactly like mine. Almost every light would turn on and off like it was the 4th of July. Thanks, helped a ton!
