Brake problems

My grandpa has a 06 F-150 FX4 . If I tap the brakes the tires lock up. He has had it to the dealer 6 times. They keep replacing sensors. It does not do it all the time.

How long has it been doing this?
As much as I hate saying it... It maybe time to consider a new dealer/shop.

I've seen "this" happen on a ABS valve body tester we made for a Popular brake system manuf. But the computer automated results seem to be a bit uhm...different than just "locking-up".

I'm sure more will chime in on other ideas to look at... but IMO I wouldn't touch it if its under warranty.
