Description of the problem	2009 kia spectra. While driving 20 mph, on snow covered street, applied brake pedal, pedal was firm and car slowing, then the pedal went soft and dropped approximately 1-2 inches and then firmed up again. This caused the abs to be applied, car would not stop. I was almost involved in a accident as other lane of traffic did not have stop sign. This is approximately the 20th time that when stopping the brake pedal has gone from firm to soft, while soft brake pedal depresses 1-2 inches, and then firms. This causes a delay in the car slowing and sometimes the abs is activated. I took car to dealership on 3/5/2010, dealer drove car 5 miles and could not recreate the problem.
