Vehicle loses braking ability when in a slow-speed situation, such as when parking, going through a drive-through restaurant, or when in stop-and-go traffic. Brake pedal will go to the floor when the situation occurs. A noise may occur that appears to be the anti-lock braking system trying to engage. Pumping the brakes seems to restore functionality for a short period of time. The issue does not occur when the vehicle is traveling at street and highway speeds.
