"The ABS light is on however it sometimes does not iluminate until i put on the brakes and turn a corner."

Ohhh...It could just be bad/dirty wheel sensors then if the light is not on all the time, and causing the ABS to flip out and activate. Easy fix, just clean each one and its connector.

Alternatively, if this doesn't help any (and your rotors aren't horribly warped), pull out the fuse for the ABS module and see if it brakes any smoother.

The module, if it's bad, can be fixed relatively easily yourself, or you can send it off to someone for pretty cheap as well.
