Guessing you have an ABS sensor that has either gone bad or has something in it. The wheel speed sensors on those tend to be a little tempermental, but are easy to replace if that is the issue. A reputable shop should be able to determine the problem if it does it all the time (they can read the codes from the computer in real time) and determine which wheel is sending the errant signal. Hope that helps!
