When operating the vehicle on a snow covered road, I attempted to stop when the vehicle was traveling about 35 MPH. When I pressed my brake pedal down as I was approaching the intersection, the anti-lock brakes did not function. The pedal press was firm, but there was noise that is typically experienced when anti-lock brakes are in use, and it felt like there was initial braking with my application of the brakes, but when the anti-lock brakes should have kicked in, it felt like the car surged ahead and the braking mostly stopped, even though I was pressing down as hard as I could. I traveled about 1/8 mile decelerating from 35 to 0 MPH. The next day I described the problem experienced with my spouse, and in our long snow covered driveway, I attempted a stop using the anti-lock brake system and it functioned correctly stopping quickly. With this being the following day, starting the car up the next day may have reset the brake system, but I have now way of knowing. There were no error codes generated.
