No sounds or ABS flashing lights?
I would for sure contact your dealer as the ABS is a safety feature that needs to be working at all times. You could have a faulty ABS sensor that needs to be replaced and this sort of thing would clearly be under warranty.
I could turn just fine, it was like the ABS decided I was on a very loose surface (like sand) and started pulsing with no lock up. The result is that you get only about 50% braking (or less).

I just thought of something that could be the culprit and should be an easy fix if the dealer knows what they are doing. Because I changed the tires, the tire diameters are slightly different than stock (very close). The stock tires where slightly larger in the front (1.5%) but now they are slightly larger in the rear (1.0%). Recalibration may be able to fix this I hope.

BTW I was going to pull the ABS fuse to test, but it's on the same fuse module as the VVEL controller so I decided against that.
