I know of a very few cases of the earlier (1987-1990) GM ABS (Teves) where 
a valve has stuck open and the ABS pushed the brake pedal back at the 
driver (usually described as "the pedal became rock hard"). In other words, 
it goes to full anti-lock. It can happen but is rare. The normal failure 
mode is to turn off the ABS.
