Default Front ABS braking problem

Hello:

I recently purchased a 2006 F150 4x4 Supercab. On dry pavement, the truck stops perfectly. On ice and snow, however, the brake pedal pulsates, the steering wheel vibrates, and the front of the truck (seems to be the driver's side) emits what I can only describe as a groaning noise. I have a 1996 F250 with rear ABS only, so front ABS is new to me. I find it hard to believe that this is normal behavior for stopping in snow, but I'd appreciate any input - it's still under a 90 day Ford dealer warranty.

Thanks for any help,

Chris

I'm pretty sure what your hearing and feeling is normal for ABS brakes (if I'm wrong these guys will correct me) of course if your not sure have a mech look at them brakes are nothing to mess with
