Hello, I have replaced entire brake system on my vehicle, all 4 calipers, pads and rotors, brake booster, brake master cilinder, ABS unit, brake hoses. The reason for doing this was loosing brake pedal pressure and mushy brakes, after replacing everything the pedal is very firm the car stop on the dime but my front wheels are locking up. The mechanic did all the work said that I have to bring my car to the dealership to have the ABS unit reprogramed. The local dealership said that the ABS unit does not need reprograming.
What do I do?

Your mechanic needs to double check his work, specifically whether the master cylinder is returning completely to it's stop. There should be a small amount of free play in the pushrod.
