It take more brake power to stop the rear wheel because of the sticking problem and the front are triggering the ABS , a few time being really close for an accident.

lets say I'm not very happy tonight.

since I have an Uprev flash on my ECU ,,, I'm pretty sure trying to pass the problem under warranty wont be easy !

The brake pedal should cut engine power to 15% max, I don't think there is anything in the Uprev flash that bypasses this feature. Still, in a low traction environment like snow even that can be too much.

Best option will be to re-flash with the stock program and then take it to the dealer. They won't deny your warranty claim after the whole Toyota scandal, believe me they will try to appease you as quickly as possible.
