What about the antilock brake sensors. They are mounted somewhere on the calipers. Also, check your disk brakes, maybe your brakes are low or are uneven from the front and back.
I remember one broke on me when I did the front wheel bearing on my 98 back then. I live up north and the salt and rust build up which got it stuck, I yanked it off and it broke.
Then My ABS light came on and the CHeck Traction Conrol notice came on.
Sometimes, the sensors that monitor the wheel spin gets dirty over time causing them not reading the wheel spin properly therefore not activating when it's supposed to, maybe brushing them down or whiping them clean with some dirt/grease and grim remover might help.
It's not a Continental issue, I noticed this with most Fords.
This is my best guess, it's what I would do before doing anything big.
