i dont think its the alternator because mine was doing it off and on - only like say once a week. it would go on stay on for like 30 seconds then go off. i havent had any problems with charging and it hasnt done it in awhile but i have not been driving my car so...
i wouldnt worry about unless you test it out like slam on the brakes and see if the ABS kicks on. if it dont then you got probs.

why not just take the car to a parking lot and jam on the brakes? just see if the brakes lock up or the ABS kicks on. thats how the dealer would be road-testing your car.
i mean it could be the sensors but then your talking $$$$
i cant remember if these cars have a fluid resevior (or even a fluid system for that matter) for the ABS system. and guess what it could be just fluid or even regular brake fluid.
thats what i would do just to give yourself an idea of whats going on.
