During the first two occurrences, while attempting to engage the brake pedal to slow down, the brakes appeared to "open up" causing the vehicle to thrust forward in a sliding motion instead of coming to a halt. While repeatedly pumping the brake pedal, the braking system appeared extremely "loose" and the brakes would appear to engage and quickly disengage. The span of breaking for each occurrence lasted about 200-300 feet before the vehicle would eventually come to a complete stop. Following both occurrences, the vehicle was turned off and the brakes appeared to work properly after restarting the vehicle. During the third occurrence, the exact incidence described above occurred when trying to bring the vehicle to a complete stop; however, the span of breaking lasted about 400 feet. While constantly pumping the brake pedal to gain control of the vehicle, the brakes went from being extremely "loose" and going to the floor to becoming extremely hard and not engaging at all. The brake pedal appeared to have locked and no pressure could be applied to the pedal. Once the pedal locked, the vehicle came to a gradually slow stall and eventually stopped without the ability of applying the brakes. As with the previous two occurrences, the braking system would appear to operate properly after restarting the vehicle.
