Are you pushing hard enough to kick in the antilock? You might have an overly sensitive sensor.

I will make a new thread if it doesn't go away within the break in period. No not pressing hard, only when pressing somewhat firmly. It doesn't seem as noticable lately...

I received a call from the service manager at the dealership and was told the car should be ready for pickup tomorrow. He was unable to tell me in english what the problem was but will show me in an illustration when I show up for the car. The good news is interior flooring will be replaced and the car will be dried out. I hope this solves the problem of the plastic part that got damaged or defective.

Well they found the problem. It was a plastic part under the hood of the car on the upper right side. It is under the plastic cover that connects going into the interior of the car. It has something to do with the heating. This is where the water entered the car. So it has now been replaced as well as all the interior carpeting. The airbag warning light came on as a result of the water build up in the carpet under the passenger seat. So there is a sensor under the seat everyone that didn't know... I'm back rolling again.... YES
